“Enlightenment” by Vladislav Tchevtchenko
history is rich
with contention for laurels
the race to the swift
the spoils to the victor
success to the persistent
From my books Ephemera and Riverthink

“Across the Shadowlands” by Steve Heyen
erroneous ethics
cause ugly collisions
of principled minds
too many homemade
moralities vying for
popular primacy
hatred and scorn
awful byproducts
choking the peace
killing chances for
calm coexistence
man plunged into
deadfall from grace
aspirations confined
to the shadowlands
underside of heaven
“Abstract Brain” by Adrian Nadeau
two brains may be
one brain too many
this constant contention
between left and right
takes a toll on the soul
each intelligent hemisphere
curbed and curtailed
by antagonist tendencies
forensics in combat with faith
language vying with music
calculus clashing with concepts
cold logic against intuition
well-reasoned analysis
fights well-imagined hypothesis
science a truculent foe
in the face of philosophy
thanks be to God for the poet
that singular lifeform
uniquely equipped
to collaborate truce
to bring synthesis from the division
and make of the mind
one astonishing whole
worth much more than its halves
Writer Lynne Sargent
Poetry Puttering by Pax & Company
Sometimes everything has to be enscribed across the heavens so you can find the one line already written inside you. Sometimes it takes a great sky to find that small, bright, and indescribable wedge of freedom in your own heart. David Whyte

Looking ahead, without looking back (too often)
flights of fancy from New Zealand
You're never alone, if you've something to share
All you touch and all you see / is all your life will ever be
