Get caught in the dialectic
before the day is late
Don’t wait for an invitation
as they slowly shut the gate
The wolf now dressed in spun wool
has broken from his cage
He hungers more for what we’ve lost
an ignorance of rage
A traitor lurks in front of us
to vanquish and to quell
But time that stops for no one man
the assassin pledged to hell
The moment to act upon us
the odds both long and wide
A battle still worth fighting
for those before who thought and died
So if truth’s your greatest weapon
wield it willingly and free
The enemy is upon us
—and must leave on bended knee
(Villanova Pennsylvania: June, 2016)
Absolution Within
The intrinsic beauty
of the present moment
Exploding our consciousness
rewriting the hymn
Outracing the words
to an epiphany of reflection
Outpacing all time
—absolution within
(Villanova Pennsylvania: June, 2016)
If
If wishes were dreams
—eternity could sleep
(Villanova Pennsylvania, July 2016)
Dystephany
The creative process
in a repressed spirit…
Its pressure a magnet
—attracting the light
(Villanova Pennsylvania: Watching the 3-Hour Eagles Documentary: June, 2016)
Miami Heat
The sand was hot
as she came up behind me singing…
“You put the ‘Man’
back in Romance
“And I’ll put the ‘Lay’
back in Lady”
(Miami Beach Florida: May, 1982)
Forgotten & Lost
Art, the DMZ
between wishes and dreams
Escape for the traveler
—forgotten and lost
(Villanova Pennsylvania: Watching The Eagles 3-Hour Documentary: June, 2016)
That Space Inside
Leaving room
for the reader
to grow within
what you write
insures immortality
connecting your words
permanently to their
feelings
creating a home
where the meaning
—can live
(Villanova Pennsylvania: Watching The Eagles 3-Hour Documentary: June, 2016)

Kurt,
Brilliant!
“In the dialect” I am caught...
My days are nights...
My nights are days...
The dessert is getting better and better!
~Laura~
The wolf's in sheep's clothing, but threatening us all!
Indeed!
Kurt,
I see you gave us a few more to feast upon!
“Miami Heat” ...
Sizzling hot!
Awesome !
~Laura~
Thanks, true story!

Any reference to ...
“All talking
is really
about
the past,
. . . think about it!”
Jesus and Buddha might disagree 🙂
