heir of air that errs and dares
son of sun that's warm and firm
knight of night that turns and burns
moon of moon that's more than one

@myetcetera all that relives, perishes, too,
once past occurrences recall
new relationships’ allowance.

What a petty government. Horrible.

@BloggingBaker up until one moment of light,
wishes enough, refill my cup,
night aura’s communal fishes.

loftily raised at yon horizon

@morningporch @yajnadevam thanks for post. very clear tangible exposition of a true conundrum by Dr. Bonta.
which precedes? language or values?
goals won’t resolve values as such,
use brain and heart, opposite poles.

fire cleanses though its manner’s strong,
share back all wisdom you acquire.

From Still Standing:

I stand before the mirror look into my eyes
Bella Lugosi whispering in my ear
how long can I stare before I flinch
turn away from myself
fail to tell myself the truth?

From Rooms and Pages:

My house is an art project it is an assemblage
wherein I traded intimacy for passion
recognized the self to transform it.

From Rooms and Pages:

It’s true I never let you in
in all the time I chased you
this awareness tempered my indignity
when you left me behind.

From All Things Musts Pass:

It is good to bring about an end to some things
unclench cease clinging let go
the release is good practice.

@morningporch winter touches Earth’s brisk bare bones,
sees both limbs and twigs as mentor
Crone’s firm grasp on Nature’s house keys.

jeez! let choices be, by the way,
votes for unity, if you pleez!

@RobertAllenPoet try patience, Lord, I wait my turn,
shutter my windowless quandary,
churn my poems in salt free butter.
