I hate none, despise some, saddened by many.
 Surrounded by family and friends we ,as the tree
in the forest, are still but one. Through adversity
we grow and hopefully come to understand our life
is tied to all around us. We are the center of our lives
but not the center of everyone else's. We control nothing
and one day will return to the dust from whence we came,
If there is comedy in justice for all then maybe a speck of my dust will
irritate the eyes of the ones I despise.
 
 
 
Ravages of Time

 From the rip rap
of a dam that no longer
holds water 

A single stem stands
straight and tall…
Flowers and leaves are
memories lost

There once was a time
 this thing of beauty did
bend and dance
through the flow of its life 

Now this is but a single brittle bone
standing tall, unyielding
waiting to crumble to dust 

Shall the bones of our arrogance
for self import
attest to
the ravages of time?
