The Art of Making

The Scene: You are an actor and I, an epic script
With minds to set the screen afire
With hope upon our lips

The Method: Be emboldened and feel the risk with me
We’ll project timeless, endless strength
We’ll cast doubt to the sea

Dream Dreamer

Cascading stars

Not falling stars

Nor momentary shooting stars

Night fireflies

Not fly-by-nights

Nor echoes in the dead of night

Not half-attempts at anything

Nor abstract things

Just real things

Twofold Man

I forgive the process
You inhale
From whence You must
You draw
From whichever well presents
You dare
From thirst’s front door clamor
You must
You see

Home Anew

Were you there when the dark eyes lit up 

Shining bright, full of freedom and thanks

Did the cultural kiss and the giving good gifts

Lift your hope to a much higher place

What of when, with a pen in the hand

Beauty flowed, coming straight from the heart

Will you write with by-line, their stories most sublime 

Should these smiles be denied brand-new starts
