ShimmerI have a number of friends, two of which are Seven and Rain.
Seven is a rock collector. He travels here and there and through every corner, dives through caves and scales waterfalls in search of rare stones. When he visits, it is always with a pack of mining tools and spelunking gear. His tools do not include a canary; I have yet to see a dust mask. Yet, when he visits, it is always in clear-throated health. (In lieu of lung disease, I asked him if he feared cave-ins instead. He said no.)
Rain is an artist. He searches fewer caves and climbs fewer waterfalls than Seven, but is nonetheless widely traveled, being a connoisseur of sweeping vistas and stately galleries. When he first visited, he asked to see the program I was coding (and at an impasse on). In response to my surprise at his interest, he said, Good code is like art in its elegance. He glanced at my code and remarked that I was missing a pointer. He was right.
When they visit, they leave g
the end of silencevoicelessly, they rose
from sunlit depths, speaking
in glistens, in the gliding of eyes
in the pass of color over the gray and decayed
and blooming wrecks—
unnamed, but not nameless,
bone and bark
walls that were never
meant to keep anything out
now rustle like dead leaves
singing in a bone crown. Breath
through a bone flute. They rustle
in the wind that flees from
the storm clouds closing in.
ReticenceSpringtime. In my inbox is an invitation to join a honor society for English majors and minors. I idly wonder if they clear their mailing list.
Gray, who does not enjoy being inside, spends his time standing at the window, watching people come and go. It is warm enough to walk outside without wearing two layers of sweaters, but there is always work to do inside.

I wake one night to Gray shaking my shoulder. I’d dreamt again about my mother dying. Sometimes I dream those dreams with horror, sometimes with relief, always with guilt.
This time, it had been horror. Gray sits at the foot of my bed while I hug my blankets and remember that my mother is not dead yet. When we talk, our voices carry softly through the darkness.

Everything you want is on the other side of fear.
What would you do if you weren’t afraid?
A respected author said she’d written those two quotes on yellow Post-Its and tacked them above her desk, to read every morning before she started

Time Beyond Life...Floats Away...
time beyond life
floats away...
changes seem to harm
and seeing heaven interfere
as fire seems to break the moon
and stars strike
crashing planets elsewhere
shocks that last
and will never be touched or found
and heaven laughs
for we go insane
time is ending
you'll never awake
no hopes
nothing
and we end
looking for peace
The Maze Between
in mad spaces above
the subtle noises meet
embracing hypnotic visions
silently moving through the maze between...
the real self is found
The Beginning Of Sorrowslook around you
do you see what i do ???
pain and anguish everywhere
abuse, chaos, pits of despair
tortured souls
destined to wander
through this fractured garden
of hopeless dreams
hate and violence
breeding prejudice
becomes the new religion
THE NEW RELIGION
no one really knowing who he is
or who he hates and why
dumped
into this great big world
no choice
just forced
into an existence of blindness
where we are led by others
no real knowledge for yourself
being programmed from day one
a never ending learning process
being taught lies and truths
how to distinguish between ???
HOW TO DISTINGUISH BETWEEN ???
what is truth ???
WHAT IS TRUTH ???
is it all in one's perception ???
IS IT ALL IN ONE'S PERCEPTION ???
force fed
by their propaganda
there's no escape !!!
THERE'S NO ESCAPE !!!
pushing into your minds
warping it
into the mindless drones
they wish you to be
don't speak
just listen
don't think
just do
don't question
just believe
blind faith
