Unemployed?

Looking for a job?
Got goodness?
-Gentleness toward all beings
That job is available
When can you start?

Live for the moment

The thought expressed by today
is forgotten tomorrow
and lost on yesterday

How can live for the moment
be a philosophical stance?
As it necessarily keeps
us all in a trance

To escape the moment
Is exactly like a massive oak
Escaping an acorn
You see it tomorrow
It's still emerging

I'm in here
nobody can get me out
not even me

Only time

Transitions

They break on your shoulders
from the sunset
you shrug and say
hell, let's get on with it
until you notice you are not
where you were
nor doing what you did
and with whom you did it

Time is a bee straight line
between two short points
the angles you see
are the corners of your mind
the only nodes in the net
are dates with transition

To a poem I saw

If you call this a poem
You might call day a verse
And night a work of art

Give the sun a literary prize
Pen a smile with highest honor
Write home of a friend's embrace

Give grand descriptions of family ties
Search water streams for rhyme
Afford clouds wide margin

If love to you is the masterpiece
You would be effusive indeed
At what I find in you
