Harmony

Harmony is never seen 
yet is frequently heard
sometimes it is felt
but like snow showers
it is giddyingly brief
meant to tickle to
chase hold and disappear
Harmony happens only when
hearts minds and souls
vibrate on same frequencies
causing one’s pure sound
much like that of
a crystal goblet whose
moist rim is teased
by one delicate finger
that begins to sing

☮️

There is this thing 
that we look for
over there under here
but it is never
just one thing but
a gathering of many
and usually this one
thing is the absence
of almost every single
thing being the one
thing frequently missed when
we do have it
desired when we don’t
What’s this thing called
well it’s called peace

HeavensLanguage (for Bean)

Bean told me today 
that his little brother
at the wise age
of three admitted his
happiness was because he
loved Bean that’s truth
I reminded Bean for
only three year olds
speak nothing but innocent
truths which by the
way is the same
language spoken in Heaven

Chasing

Why do we hope 
to find the things
unfindable why do we
doggedly pursue our mirages
chasing things that aren’t
really there except in
our minds what do
we hope to find
that we haven’t already
found we are all
such foolhardy creatures forgetting
that the tail that
we have been chasing
is and always has
been attached to us
right from the start

Cities

I have lived everywhere 
And I have learned
some things about life
Mainly that cities look
alike except for the
terrain and the backdrops
which surround them like
someone dropped a big
dollop of concrete and
glass into a bowl
that nature has created
What makes a place
different are the people
living there I know
that we behave like
bees bobbing busily about
going here going there
but each time one
alights upon me like
I’m a prairie wildflower
I change I gain
and I lose things
that I take and
give away sending a
bit of myself with
them to the next
flower or even home
