THE POWER AND GLORY

Paint and

words allow

people to

express what

can't be

expressed,

formlessly.

Painting

and poetry

rock our

world.

Music too.

The vision

is blunted

by the

media,

however,

and must

be pushed

through

by practice,

desire,

sweet inspiration

and a

whole lotta

soul.

That's why successful

artist are whom

they are:

Golden,

shining

at

a pinnacle

few can scale.

THE FUNDAMENTAL CURVE OF LOVE

Waxes poetic,

lifts all souls

far beyond

homeostasis;

moves mountains,

sweeps seas;

engenders

favorable winds

of delight

and purpose

lapping upon

all shores;

erects plenitude

in the face

of desire,

dazzling

burgeoning

satisfaction;

pity its

decline is

much more

precipitous,

and deadly,

than its rise.

“DON'T GRIEVE DEATH INTERESTS ME”

Time

knows

no start

no end

so why

should we?

Drift into

death without

sorrow

glad

it is

over

to start

again.

ADVICE FOR AN ELECTRON

The realm of

the potentially

living

falling

into life,

consciousness,

and an

awareness

of death

are on

notice:

life is Hell

on the way

back to

Heaven,

if no

immediate task

or belief

informs

your wavering

you'll

sink all the

while attempting

to swim.
