Mythos & Marginalia

2015 – 2025: a decade of days


a daily breath

  • we try to express

    Some words arrive 
    too quickly, and you struggle 
    to keep up, to write them down. 
    Or remember; thoughts you 
    can’t hold back, these thoughts 
    you cannot take away.
    Not all pencils need erasers.
    Not all mistakes can be erased.
    Still we write, and still we try
    to express, to love, to believe 
    and communicate.

  • cloud songs

     Curiosity inspires.
         Visions flash,
         sounds sparkle, ignite,
    spontaneously combust.

    Imagination on impulse, 
              intuition essential.

     My attention is fleeting, but
    can be held indefinitely 
             by shiny objects 
                    and opportunity.

    Big thoughts or simple wishes. 

           As a child 
        they called me 
           a daydreamer 
         like it was a bad thing.

  • beyond appearances

    Our belief system is as much a foundation, as it is façade.
      How you act, how you react, how you interact with all that surrounds you, is primarily influenced by what you believe.
      Beliefs can prop you up, or you can choose to hide behind them.
      Beliefs can change and, when they do, you will feel the shift. 
      Outwardly you may appear stronger, but the foundation can weaken. 
      Change happens beyond appearances.

  • February now. . .

    We count days like shadows
    now behind us. Dark and cold.
    January gone, February now,
    it seems to happen on its own.
    Everything. All or nothing 
    gained or learned, or lost.
    What do you remember?
    If you don’t want to talk about it
    somebody will. They always do.

  • less and less

    Speaking less than
    we listen, talking 
    only to fill 
    silence,
    we misinterpret
    misunderstandings.
    Never saying
    what we mean,
    meaning less and 
    less and less 
    until
    we no longer
    understand. Nor
    do we try.
