Final Message (+2)

Death courting life…

inextricably entwined

Most star crossed of lovers

their hatred of time

Death courting life…

new beginning at the end

Last promise to make

—final message to send

(Villanova Pennsylvania: August, 2019)

Our Future Imperiled

The Genie is now out of the bottle,

and referred to as ‘The Net’

Where hackers are countries unto themselves,

empowered worldwide—great threats

Able to intrude and disrupt at will,

weaving a new kind of hell

With privacy raped and freedom attacked

—barraged, our future imperiled

(Villanova Pennsylvania: March, 2017)

Palette Free

Musical and painted phrases,

dance around my memory

Reds and Blues and vivid Gold’s,

rush across my bridge of dreams

Colors streak into the sky,

their song a magic portrait

Clouds chanting in vibrant hues

—as the light sings palette free
