Killer Cancer
i don&#8217;t want to be killed by cancer &#8230; Why would I choose this? &#8230; Cancer kills you with suffering &#8230; Cancer kills you with awareness that you are deteriorating &#8230; My God, just in the last day my fingers can&#8217;t always find the right keys on the computer keyboard &#8230; Cancer is giving me no choice in dying now, if that is what it is doing to me?

Poem &#8211; Everyday
Everyday on the path I stay
Everyday in every way
If I stray and I do
I must return to myself
I do God&#8217;s will when &#8230;
I focus on the true value of the moment
I do my will when I am confused
Everyday in every way
I choose the path
Laid out for me
If it means dying
Then I am dying
If it means living
I always choose living
Every day in every way
I choose living over dying
I am not dying my living
I may be living my dying
Dying is more painful than living
Most painful is not living my living
Pain ...]]></description>

Psalm 152 &#8211; Death-Rebirth
For every season there is a choice.
A time to die and a time to live,
A time for decrease and a time for increase.
For every beginning there is an ending,
A time for regression and a time for growth,
A time for saying goodbye and a time for greeting.
For anything new the old must go,
A grave must be dug and new seed planted,
A sacrifice made as well as fulfillment created.
The days of our years are numbered by eternity.
What was will never again be.
The songs that have been sung are only ...]]></description>

Dream Of Detailed Things
I was making a fire rope, a rope made of inflammable things which I lit for some purpose that lacked meaning it seemed to me. My thinking was like a boy who is learning how to do things, whether these things are significant to adult life or not.
I also set fire to a piece of a railing on the stairs of this resort house for no purpose but to scrape it clean and put a new piece of wood on it and paint it the same color ...]]></description>

Help us to love our enemies 
Help us to accept crucifixion 
Help us to give up exploitation

We worship that which is greater 
Being inadequate ourselves

Hands
(for Stefania, December 16, 2008)
-Strephon
A weapon in a soldier&#8217;s hands means war
A baby in a mother&#8217;s hands means love
Your hand in my hand means opening
My hand in your hand means commitment

This poem was just written for Barack Obama in his inauguration as the next President of the United States. The news says he may be looking for a poet to be at the ceremony and read.
Whether known to others or not, this poem still stands like a bit of spiritual teaching in support of an enlightened Presidency and nation, one, America, that many think has fallen far from grace during the last Presidency.
