Hallucinations

Do we see; what all others can see;
do eyes get the same information;
is our mind focused on our reality;
or are we viewing a hallucination?

We live in a kingdom of feel and touch;
or, at least, that’s what we believe;
do false illusions become our

Death By Surrender

My body has suffered the atrocities of life;
and, is now in a weakened condition;
in addition, then came the death of my wife;
I suspect I’ll eventually die of attrition.

As we age, we feel we are going downhill;

ignoring the

Something To Buy

I was walking the aisles of my grocery store;
in search of something to buy;
I had, long ago, lost a woman, I adore;

shopping, without her,

The Component

I’m a living component of creation;
a mere droplet of falling rain;
completely obsorbed by evaporation;
predestined to rain again.

I am but a leaf from the tree of life;
a caterpillar in the coccoon;

a baby, resting in the
