Back in the kingdom of me,
the dust has gathered on the floor
and birds nest in the high tower,
but I have finally returned,
so I light a new fire in the hearth,
clean up a little,
and look out at the land
I have missed for so long.

Oberon Escaping (Dec 13, 2008)
I cast a circle of protection.
I cast a spell of invisibility.
I walk the back roads,
and hidden paths.
I call upon old oaths
and forgotten pacts.
I break your enchantment
and return to the land of Faerie.

Like a Radio Wave (Sept 2002)
Like a radio wave,
moving steadily outward
into the universe
Like a radio wave,
or an echo,
or light travelling from distant stars,
informing viewers of events
that are already well past
in history
Like a radio wave,
having no fixed point,
only appearing
to exist
when there is a radio
Like language,
encoded and encryted
meanings –
meaningless
without a listener
Like a moment of history,
or a book,
sending out ripples of influence
into the future
Has the moment passed?
…
Or just some of it?
Like evolution and procreation,
providing an unbroken line,
a varied but cohesive system of life forms
-- One moment,
many appearances
Just one moment
without a beginning or end
Just one self-modifying,
everlasting moment,
Expanding like the universe,
being picked up once in a while
by various
sensors and receptors.
Just a moment of existence,
like a radio wave,
moving outward.

Let's Find It! (Nov 24, 2008)
Let's go on crazy weird adventures, Tony.
Let's go on crazy weird adventures, Bob.
Where is that animal within?
Where is that crazy primal essence of life?
Let's find it!
Let's bring it out to the people!
Olé!

Dream Roads (June 23 2007)
Walking down a familiar dirt road,
I feel content,
and then I realize
I have never been there before -
except in other dreams,
and that there's a whole
landscape I visit over and over
in dreams (and memories of other dream roads)
and then I realize
even those memories
are dreamed up.
