​COMEUPPENCE

​I always thought the world owed me a living
then finally one day I got caught
but it can't catch me I thought
but in the end my luck ran out
or so I thought
but eventually it led me to all the answers and to the truth
It took time
but in the end I got there.

​ROTHKO

​I sat in that Rothko chapel
and I knew I was as close to God as I could ever get
the closest to seeing him through those paintings of nothingness
the deafening sound of silence
time almost stopping
god has no need of time
and through those paintings I could feel it slowing and stopping
black on black
a blue black
a grey black
a cross hidden
all led me to the same place
a universe of nothing

​NOT A HAIKU

​A young woman gave me a smile
it was enough
enough to do another day
with hope
in this  big heart
