Done?


 


"Connecting Broken Spaces"



Well it all began to happen
after the seventh day
in which, they claim, 
it had all been put together. 
So, there it was, creation
done.
I began to make stuff!
I mean why not?
The apple doesn't fall far from the tree.
Unless it is on a hill and it rolls
and rolls...
Maybe a little more
and then it stops.
So, now it is far from the tree,
but still it was created
and knows what to do
even far from the tree.
So, now I ponder,
if I am part of the creation
and I am still creating
was and/or is the creation done?
Or is it
only and if and when
we all stop creating.
Done?
dramatic pause

No, it is not done
because it is always starting.
Every moment 
from the beginning of this universe
is now.
The entire span of time is now, 
if you let go of the idea of
time.
What?
Can't do that?
come on, give it a try.

Done?

Holding Together


 Holding together

I have talked 
about lines
connecting
everything 
and holding
it all together

Lines can also
make it confusing
and seem like
I just don't know
what I am looking
at
or where they 
want me to go
what am I 
suppose
 to see
?

Lines will 
trick you
mislead one
 at times
bend you around
 and have you
turning the page
up 
side
down
saying what the...?

I believe 
I am the 
_________ .
When I draw
I am in there
making sense
of space
making use
 of the space
defining it
and the moment

It may not make sense
to you
but know
that I 
have enjoyed
myself
in the space 
for a moment.

That joy
is holding
it together.

Change of Perspective


Turn the world on its side 
and you may see the world looking back at you.
Reflections in a mountain lake
tipped that way
reveals a totem pole of sorts.
I count six or more strange faces.
what do you see?

How Things Go


 I wrote words
No one could read
Made them into stories
No one believed 
Put them in a book
Everyone wanted to burn
But then we all fell off the Earth
When it failed to turn

Sometimes that's how things go

I painted pictures
no one really understood
a real smart person said
the problem is they are way too good
Most people really want to know
if they are supposed to see a duck
But what you have here
is somewhere between wow and yuck

 And that can be how things go

Sometimes you make stuff
And people keep asking why
And you say well, I had an idea
So I thought I would try
Try as you might
Most just don't understand
They should just stop asking questions 
And lend you a hand

And this too is how things go

Shall I go...
on?

Maybe, "How Things Go"

I Can't Be The Only One


 Do you see the lines between us?
 I can't be the only one.
When I pass you by,
Do you feel the pull?
On the line,
Do you have a grip on it?
Or
Are you unaware?
That's Okay!
I see the lines.
No!
I feel the lines.
The lines between us,
 Connecting us.
You have to want to see them,
Feel them.
Yes!
It's a little scary.
I know! 
It means you are never alone.
The lines connect you,
To everyone and everything.
Welcome to the Universe!

It Holds Me Up


 Everyday
I walk
I Feel
The Earth
Under my feet
Pushing Back 
It holds me up
Gives me a place to stand
Tell me 
You feel it too!
