Poem: Change Due

On 2013 April 15 · 2 Comments · In playful artistry

“To change and to change for the better are two different things.” ~ German proverb

I know that what is
happening right now
is what is happening
right now.

Yet, in my humanness,
I shift into thinking of
future and especially
of past
moments

Untimely – a spontaneous poem by Stan Stewart

On 2013 March 19 · 8 Comments · In present moment

As untimely as snow in Spring,
Love comes and goes.
Not wanting or waiting for
Mortal desires, it flashes

In surprising (perhaps even
Strange) acts of everything:
From the most endearing
Coming together to a fearsome
Turning away.

Love does not [...]

Heartburn – a poem by Stan Stewart (0194 of 1,000)

I have heartburn and what I mean by that

thinking of the relationships
I have betrayed over the years
(And continue to betray)
with whatever level of intention
or unintentionality
I have brought to them

On 2012 October 23 · 4 Comments · In exposed to the light, present moment

Music can express all sorts of feelings. Improvised music can have a particular niche when it comes to these sorts of expressions.

Poem 0174 of 1,000 (for Anita): sleep

On 2011 October 07 · Leave a Comment · In playful artistry

Unwanted fatigue overtakes my worn out sinews.
Brain wanted to continue, but heart and flesh
Are giving out.

Only for today, tendons are tired and
Head is hanging.
No more ’til tomorrow.

Poem 0173 (for Anita): vast

On 2011 September 19 · 2 Comments · In playful artistry

Invited by you,
I open the doorway to my imagination
And find there a vast, undiscovered country
Filled with fun balloons, open-hearted tigers,
Lovely, kind-hearted gazelles,
Grown up children and
Playful adults.

Time to explore!

You, standing there and
Seeming to hold your breath;
You, opening the window
To your own longing and discovery.

You, waiting with eyes and
Arms outstretched in beckoning;
You, wistful with hope that
Since this is not an obvious ending,

Anticipating it [...]

A heart-shaped
Rock.

We call it
Our garden.
