Peace is~

Peace is~
The tingling, warm feelings in my chest

like at any given moment my heart will burst out from within.

Peace is~
Fighting to keep my eyes open, when I am not even tired

with every eyelid flutter more soothing than the other.

Peace is~
No matter time or place, the you-ness of you existing comfortably, almost weightlessly

aware, yet, without a worry or care.

Bittersweet

here today, gone tomorrow,
nothing in life or in death
can separate us
from the love
of God

Bittersweet

questioning logic
sound in belief
over and over again
finding myself
caught in-between

Bittersweet

a word or a phrase
naught be found
over and over again
hushed, as if,
forefinger to my lips

Bittersweet

heart beating rhythmically
double time, warmth consuming
over and over again
all thy burdens
cast upon Him...

Deja Vu

Can't shake this deja vu

the world has come and gone

a trillion times 

hard to explain,

one of those videos

you are standing still 

only the backdrops and your clothes

change repetitively 

you remain - unchanged...

Periodic flashes 

faces

properties

road

even a tree,

same thing - unchanged

Peaceful in every event

A handsome man

staring me back in the mirror

since the early 1990's

With a chuckle, I'd always say "better with a goatee?"

Who is this handsome stranger to my left?

Plays piano beautifully

as I (?) turn his pages lovingly...

Presence still creeps up on me 

around the Memorial Art Gallery...

Who's Jimmy?

Can't shake this deja vu

the world has come and gone

a trillion times...
