Poem
Time is Precious Time is preciousIt’s of the essenceIt’s here, then goneFrom adolescence The time you haveAnd the time you takeThe things you’ve doneAnd the plans you makeThe sights you’ve seenNow a memoryAnd what’s to comeYet a fantasy Time marches onThough nary a soundHands on the wallEach day spin around Time is fleetingTake note and […]

Birthday Weekday
It was 5:20 a.m. and I was finishing my second cup of coffee when it dawned on me – the question: How many birthdays have I had on the same day of the week as my date of birth? In resolution, using this weekday calendar, I laboriously set about to record the years in which […]

Stepping Back
It’s like I’m outside at a circus, looking through a dirty glass window, watching all the kids having fun inside… Climbing tall ladders to reach high wires. Pulling a lion’s tail. Stepping on the oversized shoes of clowns. In time, I turned back to pass between bended fence posts and begin my journey home – […]

Black Hole
Unbeknownst to me on my first solo flight as an astronaut, I drifted dangerously close and was drawn into a black hole in space. This was the last view I can recall seeing – both stars and light appeared to spin, and the spacecraft hull became translucent, disjointed. Then, everything was completely dark. Well, not […]

Short Story: The Time We Met
On an old cobblestone snickelway, a mild-mannered woman from the village happily daydreamed as she went about on her way to market. Often overlooked by passersby, she was a humble and quiet woman of slight stature whose clothes were second-hand, though very well kept. Her gait was graceful, and she carried herself with confidence. I’d […]

Poem: Water Always Wins
Reflecting to reconcile the passage of timeAn artful adaptation before young eyesI set aside distractions of the digital worldChoosing instead to carry a wooden walking stick and canteenTraversing what were once elevated peaksDense rock now carved into gorgesThe jagged, sharp edges refined and smooth underfootWarmed in the flow of natureWater always wins. © 2021 Phil […]

Lessons From The Trail
Don’t Rush People are always in a hurry. In fact, I would suggest this is more common today than ever. Impatience is a sickness and people can’t wait to be somewhere else – anywhere other than their present location. In many instances, this may be inconsequential. However, patience can be very important in an unfamiliar […]
