A day of reflection on Christ’s passion
Stations of the Cross depict man’s loss
Faith is a mystery, tested through our mortality.

Another day to memorialize
Tuesday 3/22/16
Acts of terror to desensitize.
An attack to all humanity
In the heart of Brussels,
Taking more lives again, senselessly.
When will it end?
Strike one, two, three,
Explosions in the airport and the metro station;
ISIS claims responsibility reprehensibility.
Nowhere to run from this hell storm,
Safety anywhere fast becoming a rarity,
Threats all over the world the new norm.
What will make it end?
While politicians rant,
And terrorists continue to rave.
We’re left to do the mourning chant:
How will it end?

Have you boiled your brisket?
Got your cabbage patched?
Peeled and sliced those potatoes?
Then get to it!
Don’t look for a poem here
This is just a little greeting
To say . . . .
Happy St. Patrick’s Day!

From birth to earth,
Luck of the draw decides
The side of track I reside
Could make life full of mirth or dearth.

Too many debts owed
Credit score six hundred ten
Sorry, Mr. Smith.

The Marvel Universe—

Earth is not always their place of birth;
Some hail from distant planets.

Work, eat, sleep, repeat . . .
Just waiting for Father Time
A working stiff’s life.

Fleeing from danger,
The bird flew into a den
A fox was waiting
Stages
Shock
Say it isn’t so
I can’t accept your leaving
My world just went dark
Pain
Time crawls without you
The air is a stifling cloak
Each breath is a sob
Anger
How dare you just go
Leaving joy we could have had
Things we could have shared
Depression
Sadness hangs on me
Twenty-four hours each day
No sign of retreat
Acceptance
At last I wake up
Signs of life and hope appear
One step at a time.
