ask yourself

October 25

who will it hurt?
how could you tell?
who would know?
how can I help?

ask yourself.

a decade of days…

2025 is an anthology of thoughts du jour, unsolicited advice, messages of peace, philosophy, poetry, and photographs from the past decade of Mythos & Marginalia. In unchronological order, the years not as important as the dates, each post a reminder (if only to myself) that I do indeed write every damn day.

good morning

Good ideas, good
relationships, and
good mornings
often begin with a
good cup of coffee.

Enjoy your day,
and tomorrow too.

another chance

The Moon hangs low,

yet the Sun still rises.

Each day

we have another chance

to shine a little brighter.

Rise up.

Be radiant.

waiting for rain

Throughout the day they
cautioned of rain. Overcast,
occasional sprinkles, but
the downpour held off
until the evening hours.
When it came, it came.
I had waited
throughout the day,
putting off many things
I had to do, not entirely sure
what I wanted. Or why.
A day of suspense.
Very little happened.

cloud songs

  Can I whisper
or wonder
what I do not know?
    Afraid, of course,
of where it can go. To realize
what is not there
on all, or most, or many days
is still so real.
Lines on your face.
Memories disappear. Erased.
Others fall out of favor
or onto the page.
Words unspoken still leave
a mark on your past,
  your lips
and lifeline.
Will you ever tell?
  Release the smile
holding back thoughts
meant only for yourself.

a good look

Sometimes you are surprised
by where you are. Other times
you can be surprised by what
is there. Take a good look.
Always be open to surprise.

isn’t it?

Isn’t it
always
the way
that is it.
Isn’t it?

It is not
always
that easy
to see what
it was.
