So Many Words - So Little Time
CLI.
Decimals, digits,
Phrases, words,
Mere parts of wholes.
Fractions, fragments,
Poetry, prose,
Poles which seem so distant,
Almost non-existent.
Oneness shattered,
Life scattered
Seeking sense in parts
Apart, where there is none.
Persistent, insistent
Starts and finishes:
A hoax of rhyme
Leading back in time
To One.

CREATIVITY
A kind of regularity,
A resting rhyme
Rushes forth from chaos
To find its perfect pitch
Created from a miracle
Of balanced parts
Loosely interwoven
Human threads conferred
Upon the loom of unity
Of fine design,
Integrated into
Immortality,
Converted into merest word.

A poem
By flame
Reduced to ashes,
But not my soul.
Soul is irreducible,
In poem,
In flame,
In ashes,
Beyond all that - it IS.

A pun which tickles
My tickler
Shines light
Into the gloom,
The more to gain.
It pokes into
The recesses,
Shows up
Cobwebs in my room
'N dust particles in my brain!

Geodesic domes,
Cleverly man-made,
Cannot outlive the nuclear
Of organismic tomes.
Without the ones to think it out,
It matters not what comes
Or whether either sort of art
Remains among unknowns.

Greek dreaming gives expertise
To fraudulent farce:
We think we’re poets.
We long to reconsider
Lavish paths leading
Far beyond the necessary,
To more verdant fields.
Yet we wonder where and what
Are proper borders, girds,
Or which line yields
The best dimensions now.
If everything is working
So on schedule, bards,
Why tamper more?
We know too little to rule out
That urge that always comes
Like a magic misty melody,
Before we ever write its words.

Moments sweet, fulfilling,
Totally alive!
I treasure them
As they occur,
Asking nothing more or less,
Pledging nothing more or less.
