Circus Act
It's a world of business
the work ethic edges us
the people in the background
fade into the pale walls
nonchalant transactions
It's OK as long as you
earn a buck for yourself
even if it's off someone
else's back
The circus act of devouring
lions going through hoops
of flames or the magicians
doing disappearing acts
the fat lady in the freak show
Read the rest of the poem Show less
making us glad we're not there
I don't live for the trying
business world
I look behind the scenes
to the forgotten poor people
with dark and dismal outlooks
Everyone is in it for themselves
Fun house mirror upon mirror
It's not about that
about what you do
but who you are
I light my path today
with the soft, sweet fragrance
of wonder and peace
I see a diffferent experience
the wind moving the branches
of the trees telling us to
change direction
The suffering of the moment
is starting to gleam for love
I am a channel for love
That is my great skill

About Me
About me
I write to express myself, especially when I can't express what I want to say verbally. It is therapy for me. It consoles and heals my soul, my mind, my anxiety, and most of all, it gives me a purpose to do something positive. I touch all aspects and all forms of life with my poetry.
