More Than An Illusion
when the sun rises
it’s not really doing so
it’s just an illusion
but lo how an illusion
can burn our hearts with desire

Something Really Interesting
I woke this morning wanting to write something really interesting…
And so I did.

I’m gonna pop some tags…

While we were watching the Academy Awards show…
ISIS was blowing up a nearly century-old library in Mosul, Iraq, destroying 8000 rare books and manuscripts in the process.
Now the chances were near a perfect zero that I would have visited this annihilated library or read even one of the burned manuscripts…
So why do I feel so upset by this, yet another barbaric, incomprehensible act of medieval madness inflicted upon the world by ISIS?
And now we hear they have abducted a group of Christians who are surely to be slaughtered…
And similarly evil and incomprehensible things are being done by other such medieval minded groups from Nigeria to Mexico…
Burnings, beheadings, bombings are happening so often now it seems I hardly notice anymore.
But something about destroying ancient texts and artifacts really, really moves me.
Something about losing a large chunk of rare history really hurts.
Well, at least I got to witness the embarrassingly historic moment of Neil Patrick Harris prancing around in his skivvies…

Enchant Me
Leave the world to me
Let me find the ways
To my truths of the moments
Until the end of my days
Leave me the purpose as well
And all meaning and mights
And all heartbreak and lost sakes
And all reason and rights
It’s from you I seek wonder
And the thrill of the haunt
From you it’s the magic
And mystery I want
For you are the forest
With your enchantments and dreams
And your hootings and howlings
And occasional screams
It’s your sanctum of silence
It’s your roots of unreal
It’s your dank of the night
It’s your murk of appeal

A Temperamental Moon
waxing and waning
a temperamental moon
traverses amongst the stars
through life, too, we wax and wane
temperamental we are
