A journey to the Silver State
for a role on the Silver Screen
One must consent to being horribly eaten
On the blistery desert plain
Vultures circle round and round
Fantasies of bloody tastes snarling
on their tongues
What's this? The vultures see?
The corpse has gotten up
and walking around free

here is another poem I wrote last week...

It’s a Life Full of Wonder

It’s okay to wonder
From time to time
Or a lot
Whether your path
Is true, right and exact
Or if your life is screwed up
And going to pot.

In fact
It’s more than okay
It is totally wonderful
In every single way.
When life seems to, well,
Just plain suck
And you feel completely out of luck
Just remember
It’s more than okay
It is totally wonderful.

How can that be?
Because in every way
You are loved
You are supported
You have all you need
Every moment
Of every day.

Even when you feel
That this is not the case
You can be and are
A wellspring of grace
For if you will it
It is so
So will you will it
And let your fear go?

See, all that holds you back
From seeing life as full
All good and complete
Is that four-letter one syllable
Scary little “f” word
The “f” in your “ear”
That doesn’t let you hear
The peace all around you.

That peace is there
Actually it’s everywhere
And if you slow down
Get rid of the frown
Stride to an “ace pace”
That peace will pop up
Right in front of your face.

So agree today
To have no fear
Just accept and claim
The peace that is there
Then you can wonder
And wonder and wonder again
And be full of wonder
Be wonderful.

***

have a wonderful week!

You know, if you aired your poems on BBC Radio next to Sylvia Plath . . . you'd get a loyal following.

P.S. Mahler Symphony No. 1 is still playing on BBC Radio 3. I love it! Michael Tilson Thomas, Director of the SF Symphony is going to conduct all of Mahler's work and put them onto CD. Three are already out. I listened to #9 in concert a few months back. (MTT is so handsome, *swoons*. Cappy boyfriend is jealous. You would laugh at what he says.)
