Universal
diverse
communal

yin needing yang
dark partners with light


buried
obfuscated

sensed
spurred by need

a vital need
to be at liberty

to grow, dignified
to become

it's name-Human
one and all.

lightness of being

conditions of origin,
formative landscape,
biographical knot-

false rivalry
bounce off trampoline
to reach the sky,

value judgements
silent expectations
named the game...

tempers rise
in success and defeat
driven by beliefs

in every player's
head enslaved by
mismanaged conceit.

Herman says
ludic means
bring in light

Van Gogh and
Nietzsche need not
have been mad or sad

INTER-ETERNALLY

COHERENCE IN LIFE
FUSES A MEANINGFUL BOND
BETWEEN INTANGIBLE AND
TANGIBLE THINGS

IN-PROGRESS OR
IN-DECAY
AS HUMAN, ANIMAL
AND NATURE RELATE-


EVER INTERACTING
IN ONE FINITE EARTH
TOWARDS OTHER INFINITE WORLDS

anti-human

ugly and cruel
are the faces of evil,
INHUMAN VALUES

musings

may i , for simplicity's sake
burst this bubble
that took a while to make?


!#@$%*!- barely a whimper
reached an ear freedom at last
a silent woe exited

blasting thru
clad illusions,
hopefully beyond recall...

though tired and weary
there's no folly in binge spending
in the name of glory

for the spirit,
heart and mind
that truly belong to no-body!

Grandparents Remembered

Grandpa left
without prior notice
leaving unfinished the story
of great warriors chanting,
"Khali! Khali!"

years later Grandma followed
Grandpa too soon after
she declared,' no dark colors, nor knit brows
neither wailing on my wake-
play the guitar, be merry and enjoy the show."

there were singing between
sobs, foodfest galore and chain
smoking inside the parlor littered
with flowers sewn as wreaths
but Grandmas's Sampaguita adorns my hair.

in rememberance now is seen
Grandpa's smile,Grandma's wink in every face
parcing their loving tricks
making all children rather chic.
