Acting As If
Bragging as kids
we’d act “as if”
and many times pull it off
• • • º • • •
I have an idea
let’s give it a go
We can tape it together
cardboard and masking tape
Pretend it’s all fancy
and see it it flies…
Brilliant Star
Like bone buttons
on a dark blue velvet vest
we stood out with depth
As brilliant stars on a moonless night
danced across the conciousness
One tiny speck, all bright and blue
whirled and twirled
with uncommon shyness and innocence
And complete disregard
of looks askance
or references to misbehavior
For all her beauty
and heartfelt love shone
far brighter than the rich
depth of her worldly experience
I Am Peace
Remind me again
where’s the peace?
The piece of the universe
in which I inhabit
on any given moment
Where I Simply Am
all doing aside
That place which is everywhere
surrounding and throughout
consciously acknowledged
is Peace
A Better Place
It’s a better place, we live in
we breathe in, we create in
we expand in
It’s a better place
than even yesterday
because we are who we are
And you make it fun
and we’re real and we dance
through our challenges
With love
unconditional love…
Thrilling…
Highlighting the big Ta-dah!
or maybe the fancy schmancy To Do
excites and appeals in a positive way
Whereas, all the falderal
the adrenaline rush
of hyper-fearful fictions
The negative spin
the gossipy trash
seems to sell big
As it’s adding excitement
to the roller coaster ride called Life
JOY + FEAR = THRILL?
