Sound Bites (June 25, 2024)



Blessed Quietude

Audibly
  we rise
and fall

But Silence ...
is the language
 of God

(Dreamsleep: June, 2024)


Lost In Place

The past
is never where you left it
Tomorrow
delegitimizes today

(Dreamsleep: June, 2024)


Groupies

Liking ...
 sometimes better
 than loving

(Keith Richards: June, 2024)



First Step

Standing at the crossroads
and knowing that you’re there
Going left or going right
coin toss or a dare
Pushed by fate determined
into sorrow, joy, or pain
First step taken tells the tale
— of destiny proclaimed
