Writing/Written
I awoke from a nightmare. Though, it wasn’t the images which disturbed me, it was the resonance of this simple thought, this mantra, repeating: I’m always writing, always written. Always writing, always written. I’m always writing, always written. Always writing, always written. Gasping,i’m on the other side—blinded by the light that once illuminated my path…

Moonstruck
I went out for a walk, and i looked to the sky Turned to the moon in the three quarter phase,What is this pull that’s pulling me?Moonstruck, i was lost in a daze Been dragged by the collar, drugged by her charmsShe was the waitress, that had me beggin’ for more Turned to the sun,…

Don’t Think and Drive
I cultivate the sense of Being Right -crows perch on bare Cottonwood branches.

Morning Light
You’ve lived well, made an impact in your community, perhaps They’ll dedicate an interchange on Highway mile marker 162 in your name. Morning Light diffused behind mushrooming sweeping clouds -indigo. violet. pink. white and blue Tahoma stands watch over the corridors.

Like the Tree
