this moment between
past and future is as thin
as an empty thought–
yet it holds no less than the
entire universe at once

paths, interrupted (tanka)
nothing makes a man
reconsider his path like
a close lightning strike–
that goes for his path in life
as well as his path in step
natural man (tanka)
when it’s time to die,
i hope it happens at home–
here, in the forest
and so deep among the pines,
that nature can take its course

when heaven can’t wait (tanka)
don’t put off the things
that you want to do in life
until the end nears,
for heaven may be closer
than it presently appears

off to see the wizard (tanka)
looks like i’ve found a
secret, hidden entrance to
a magical realm
if i never come back out,
you’ll know i was right, indeed

tales from beyond (tanka)
some of the campfires
we see burning in the sky
must have attendees–
i wonder what great campfire
stories we’re missing out on

keep on truckin’ (tanka)
after a long walk,
my legs hurt, but it’s not bad–
in fact, it hurts good.
sore muscles serve to remind
us that we’re still in the game.

misplaced (tanka)
as a child, i would
explore hidden portals to
other dimensions–
now, i’m quite sure that this one
isn’t the original

space reprisal (tanka)
the earth ‘takes up space’–
so perhaps gravity is
just space fighting back;
if you dare to take up space,
it’ll be coming for you.

islands (tanka)
they say that no man
is an island, but i say
that we’re all islands–
we appear isolated,
yet deep down, we are as one
