what’s next

Thanksgiving Day is gone

snow has melted

“what shall I be?”

the morning waking

the day after Thanksgiving

HAPPY THANKSGIVING

shadows and entanglements

Light awakened me

new shadows were forming

fear with new frames,

island enclosures.

Should I understand “meaning

of unhappiness or happiness”

in dreams or restorative sleep?

You came

after a long winding road,

a lamp of illumination

taking me to direction and calm,

familiar places and thought,

fresh stories

I tried to understand

and find myself

I found you.

I can wait

the sun

outlines trees and fields

autumn can stay a while

those eyes

note: photo taken at the Vino Noceto Winery, Plymouth, California

don’t be afraid

a step in light or darkness

roads appear

or a blue eye in the sky

to know the difference

ever since Einstein theorized
speed of light is finite
we’re chasing speed
remote, touch screen, instagram

what’s life
what’s death

life is summation of the seasons
life is a season
life is a moment
death is the beginning
or the end
or always

life is death
death is life
we try to know the difference

some don’t reach
some don’t
life is
one

Consequences

You sit down in the park

and listen.

What are they thinking?

Pretty soon

their narratives fly out

from their walking,

from their infidelities.

You go home and reflect.

Life is happening.

Life has meaning.
