What Have You Done




Sit awhile –

there is time to make and time to waste.

Neither really matters nor makes much sense.

The willows weep - hanging low on their bough

Reaching down to touch the ground’s tense.


The minute hand strikes the midnight hour

In synchronous motion of the last day

At the very moment hence

Derives no more measures

nor holds any more meaning for whence.


Walk with me upon this perilous path;

The way is certain  - though not as foretold.

Save your soliloquies

For they will serve you very well

As honoring eulogies.


A flower lives in this garden

Where the rich dirt hosts death’s decompose

Entertaining grave finalities

While the regenerative savors the compost

Filled with life’s exquisite trivialities


And the gathering flocks

Light upon the wooden fence lines

To sit and witness the mycelium’s banalities

Taking eternal turns just below the forest floors.

Blessings are heard for both mercies and brutalities.


Where have you been

Why are you here

What have you done-

Do you seek  answers;

There are none.
