truth needs no justification
it is what it is -- or should be
and never anything else
even when hidden from the public
in order to protect and serve;
truth lives in history
and never vice versa as those
who consider themselves winners
always write the books;
truth and despair never mix
like oil and water but on those days
when truth cannot be proven in
courts of law -- it fails consideration;
truth is the bullet in life's weapon
and is seldom fired even when
desperately needed by those to
prevent others from stealing their dignity;
truth lives at the bottom of an empty well
and is retrieved only when
someone illegally crosses our borders
hoping to find truth while living among us.

Donna's Birthday (1-3-53)
church bells toll and the
heavens open up the sky,
gifts are wrapped and given
memories are retained digitally,
food is laid out on a table
open window curtains let in the sun,
the day begins when it is time,
the cats hustle for a snack,
cold air permeates the hardwood floors
and everyone has done their chores;
the rules indicate "do not disclose"
our routines altered this one day and
when all we can say is HAPPY BIRTHDAY
and we all wish you more than well,
hoping time will never ends its story
and you will continue as you've always done
and we will continue celebrating over
the day of your birth as you can see
all that you have meant to everyone.

how the universe was created,
are there multiple dimensions,
is there a parallel universe,
what happens to us once we die,
our purpose here on earth is what exactly,
why were we even born,
who are we,
is life predetermined like birth,
what is the universe expanding into,
will string theory become reality,
is there a cosmic consciousness,
are UFO's and aliens for real,
why is truth always so obscure,
and when I find these answers to these wonderings
no doubt there will be more... and on and on and on,
and when discovered will it really matter
what all these answers were
and what, if anything, it will mean in our next life?

Just For Today
today's story has yet to be told
thousands of seconds unrevealed,
waiting and bating the user
to follow their own instincts,
making this day another day to remember;
but, as we go about our business
separating fact from reality
politics from the truth,
seeing strangers remain where they are
and all the doctors and nurses whose
job it is to save others -- cannot save themselves;
today is today and that never fails us
as our truth is all that remains when
the day finally unfolds all its colors and
we learned that we have survived again.
