Deceptive

Often the right path
appears the wrong way
until the aftermath
happens on that good day

32 Replica

what way is better
permits a will to fetter
truth a debtor

to a masked lie
and a counterfeit thereby
is truth nearby

and denied its guard?
guard to verify canard
restrictions discard

when the lie shatters,
if reality matters
truth under tatters

may endure the will
of the one gushing forth swill.
but truth as lies still

waits discovering
identity recovering.
reason hovering

astute guard discerns
to facts he returns
and with truth's concerns

as described, uses
that insight to slip that noose
leashing right to choose

Very Quiet

When I am very quiet
Inside my head, riot
I hear in another tongue, a choir
I hear behind my eyes, ear's desire
I hear note by note, a piano
I hear whispering its roar, a wind
I hear reflecting life, a mirror

of her new home, tends plants while

Olive Tree 1998

though tears rain like
a storm raging about

though pain sears like
the sun waging a drought

like the olive tree on the hill
still I love thee
