Deception is Illusion

.
.
TRANSFORM ILLUSION
WITH TRUTH
TRUTH IS HEART
HEART IS ALL
LONG FOR NOTHING
NOTHING IS ALL
NOTHING IS BETWEEN
NOW AND TOMORROW
BETWEEN IS ILLUSION
ONLY LOVE IS TRUTH
ONLY TRUTH IS REALITY
LIVE REAL
FOREVER HAS ALREADY BEEN
YESTERDAY
IS ALWAYS
BEFORE YOU
THERE IS ALWAYS MORE
UNKNOWN
FOREVER REAL
BEYOND PERCEPTION
IMMEASURABLE LOVE

Tom Hobson Winked

.
.
Waiting
For my mother
To return,
I saw a man
Wearing a
Coon skin hat,
The coon tail
Hanging
down his back.
That had been
A big coon,
Bigger than my dog.
The man was
All gnarled,
And appeared to
Have been formed
From tree branches
Rather than flesh.
He did not speak,
But passed by
In silence.
His shoeless feet
Grasping the ground
As would tree roots.
Each step secure
And permanent
Until in the instant
He moved on.
Just before
He disappeared
In the fog,
He turned
And looked directly
At me,
Then he grinned
And winked.

Hard Times

.
.
Times are so hard
I must plow my
Garden’s furrows
Using a spoon.
Scarabs roll away
The fertilizer
And doves peacefully
Eat all the seed.
I harvest from my
Rocking chair,
‘Cause nothing
Is there.
Sweeping’s a chore,
For I must use
My toothbrush,
Which leaves my
Teeth all snaggly,
And to trim the
Grass my scissors
Must do.
The walkway is
Deep gluey mud,
And the road bed?
It’s loose
Blowing sand.
My life is in files
All numbered thirteen.
But I am blessed,
Oh so blessed,
As long as chlorophyll
And my eyes
Are still green,
And tiny arms hug.
Oh the joy that
Children are both
Heard and seen.

Plumes of Starlight Flames

.
.
Lighting
Night
Glory bright
Thunderbird
Shall flash
Fiery
Starlight
Flame
Plumes
Trailing
Rain-river
Torrents
Shall
Nourish
Strange
Dead
Bone-tree
Forests
Dancing
In cyclone
Sands
Flying
Onward
Alone
Over harsh
Alkali
Seas
Salt
Pillared
Land
Stark
Wailing world
Of no one
No watchers
Shall see
Thunderbird’s
Lonely
Vigilant
Flight
No ears
Shall
Hear the
Thundering
Sky-quake
As eternity
Slams shut
Imploding
Thunderbird’s
Plasma
Screaming
Wing howling
Whirling
Vortex
Gamma wind
