Mythos & Marginalia

2015 – 2025: a decade of days


a daily breath

  • we all try

    We don’t all move in the 
    same direction, but each 
    of us wants to get ahead.
    Our pace differs, as does
    our attitude, as we all try
    to step forward.
    Do you know where you
    are going? How will you
    know when you get there?

  • understand

    I can’t explain
    what they don’t want to hear,
    and they don’t want to
    understand any more
    than they have to.

    They cannot
    see beyond the
    bounds of possibilities.

    Communication barriers
    of the mind, in time
    become more.

  • work in progress

    I need to remind myself, more often,
    who I am and what I have become.
    More so, I need to remind myself of
    what I am becoming.
    If I am truly a work in progress, how
    much progress have I made?
    How can I tell if I don’t remind myself
    or question myself?
    Only I can really know.

  • 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.
