Is, Was, and Ever Shall Be

Drama,

feel the drama,

forever drama –

from the womb

to the cradle

to the grave,

drama –

from the heights

to the abyss;

from the sex

to the worms,

drama –

from the desert wars

to the nuclear shelters in suburbia,

drama –

from the fire

to the flood;

from the liar

to the saint,

drama.

A Comforting Moment

He looked at her

and she looked at him

and they didn’t have to say a word

they just smiled at each other

for what did it matter

if the whole world

was burning all around them

for we are all

just dust and ash

in the end

Faith in the Tide

I don’t need

a rock

to hold to

because

I am riding waves.
