Steps

Success, my dad said, /

was often one foot ahead /

of the other one.

Books

And I don’t vote for those who would ban books, especially to rewrite history or deny others their voices.

“Glimpses”

Glimpses

With glimpse after glimpse /

you see the mind’s true nature /

and wisdom flowers.

“Roles”

Roles

The clock floated free; /

the jack, pawn, car, and acorn /

left their roles behind.

“The Monster”

The Monster

The thunder outside /

Echoes storms speaking within. /

Love breeds its Monster./

Earth Day

“What is the universe? Space. Out of space came a coagulation that became a nebula, and out of the nebula, millions of galaxies, and within one constellation of galaxies, a sun, with our little planet circling it. Then out of the earth came us, the eyes and the consciousness and the ears and the breathing of the earth itself.”

– Joseph Campbell

“Let us”

Let us

Let us ride balloons: /

Up to the heavens and moons. /

Light as grace and stars.

Remembering

“As long as they talk about you, you’re not really dead, as long as they speak your name, you continue. A legend doesn’t die, just because the man dies.”

AS I KNEW HIM: My Dad Rod Serling
