Separation is illusion
Particles connect
A million little worlds
Live inside a speck
Navigate the patternSmell the rings of Saturn
The man behind the curtain
Is in the looking glass
Butterflies cause hurricanes
The sun lives in the grass
The rain in Cucamonga
Irrigates the tundra
Love and existence
Energy and time
Consciousness and matter
Mingle dance and rhyme
Everything is everywhere
Radiance is in the air
by Richard W. Bray
Weak and wounded people
Let the spirits in
Play a demon's game
The demons always win
Entertain a demon
And grovel at its feet
Revel in destruction
And tales of deceit
Spin a tangled web
Stab a thousand backs
Demon grabs your virtue
And eats it like a snack
Dance with the devil
Sing his favorite song
Never ask yourself
Where it went wrong
Do all the things
A demon says to do
And never admit
The demon is you
by Richard W. Bray
When your life’s a walking shitshow
And you fill the world with lies
You don’t know why you’re empty
Saying your goodbyes
In a room where you say your name
And try to tell the truth
Don’t miss out on fellowship
Searching for proof
Alone on a computer
You muffle your cries
As you try to find your truth
In other people’s lives
Searching the whole world
Looking for your purpose
Cast your buckets down
And try to be of service
by Richard W. Bray
The quiet of the sky
The passion of the trees
The wisdom of the rocks
Educating me
Unremembered kindness
Murmurs in the breeze
The wonders of a world
That willed itself to be
Experience the grandeur
Of a world that isn’t clean
Open up your senses
Pull away from the screen
by Richard W. Bray
Everything is broken
It’s about to get worse
I know what’s wrong with everyone
I know just what to do
If I could punch you every moment
Then I could fix you
Everything is broken
So I make my own truth
It isn’t really lying cuz I’m not even there
I know what’s wrong with you
Cuz I live in your head
It isn’t really me sleeping in my bed
Everything is broken
I live outside myself
Reality is bad for my health
No one can handle my sad little poem
A little girl got broken
And she never went home
by Richard W. Bray
choices matter
syllables flatter
promises as empty
as the windbroadcast near and far
tell us who you are
fabricate and
fantasize and spin
goodness will not say
what it gives away
treasures more
valuable than gold
love unassailable
beauty unexplainable
the best things
cannot be told
By Richard W. Bray
The world is made of frozen light
Everything connects
Nothing in the universe
Works like you expect
Does a tree know it exists?
Does a star know how to love?
Look at thirteen blackbirds
Listen to a dove
Make some room for kindness
As you straddle space and time
The world is charged with grandeur
Everybody shines
by Richard W. Bray
in a fog
in a flutter
inattentive
in love
in debt
in danger
insolvent
in love
in the dumps
in a pickle
injured
in love
in the groove
in the saddle
invincible
in love
by Richard W. Bray
Time was somewhere else
In a universe of two
Bewitched and bedazzled
There was only you
The light, the air
The space between
Charged by the sparks
That cannot be seen
Colors overflow
Molecules conspire
Angels hold their breath
And stop to admire
The light, the air
The space between
Charged by the sparks
That cannot be seen
by Richard W. Bray
