What Counts?

May 23

What are you doing?
What can be done about
what needs to be done?
Why aren’t you doing it?

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.

a little moonlight

the moon is there
it is always there
different each time
you look
you stare
i don’t know where
you are
or if you looked up
like before
but I hope
last night
a little moonlight
slipped under
your door

again

exhale

inhale

feel it
through your veins

each breath
we take
is

a
new opportunity

inhale

in a moment

another chance
gone as

another chance

arrives

exhale

again

feel it

alive

cloud songs

Searching for reasons.
      Why?
             When?
It is not finding the time,
    but finding
        the space. Physically,
emotionally beyond a trace
of the humanity you know
is there and has been
all along.
       Still you search.

fractured reality

when will you look
or when will you see
the eyes looking back
belong only to thee

how can you know
everything you see
decisions of the future
are not what they seem

what have you noticed
and what does it mean
is our fractured reality
caught up in a scheme

self-expression

Verbally or non-verbally, regardless of method, media or motivation, expression or self-expression is an important component of who you are and how you react to and interact with the world surrounding you.
There are many ways of giving notice or getting noticed.
It matters not how you express yourself, only that you do.

a little further

What do you understand?

What do you struggle with?

What are you capable of?

What will you accomplish today?

What will happen if you
you reach a little further?
