Offset by Shadow (Colin)

Walking on the underside 
Of a question never asked 
Angles flicker, time divides 
In patterns made to mask

Glass in the socket, 
Voice in the floor 
Distance rehearsed 
In the blink before

Offset by shadow, 
Aligned by mistake 
Meaning floats sideways 
Through every opaque 
Offset by shadow 
You couldn’t translate 
The mirror was empty 
But held all your weight

A gesture left mid-air 
Not fallen, not caught 
A signal refused 
By the silence it brought

Pale automation 
Smiles on delay 
The blink of the building 
Keeps looking away

Offset by shadow, 
A fracture in tune 
A calendar breathing 
Behind the monsoon 
Offset by shadow 
No centre, no gate 
A whisper designed 
To arrive too late

Static at corners 
Maps with no ground 
Echoes on furlough 
Ideas unbound

So draw with the eraser 
Speak with the blur 
Name it tomorrow 
Then make it occur

Offset by shadow 
And left in the blur—

One Hand Clapping (Zen Koan)

In the hush before the morning 
In the fold between the folds 
There’s a whisper with no speaker 
There’s a story never told

A tree falls into silence 
No eyes to see it drop 
I walk the air between the pulses 
Where the ticking has no clock

What is the sound of one hand clapping? 
Where does the echo go? 
Is it rain before it’s falling, 
Or a shadow in the snow? 
What is the sound of one hand clapping? 
No thunder, yet I know — 
There’s a hush behind the question 
And it’s louder than we show

The bell rings in the river 
But no ripple marks the tone 
I chase the shape of nothing 
In the place I stand alone

The answer folds like paper 
Into wings that never flew 
And still I feel the motion 
Like a dream that might be true

What is the sound of one hand clapping? 
What silence do we sing? 
Is it breath beneath the surface, 
Or a bell without a ring? 
What is the sound of one hand clapping? 
It’s the thought you cannot bring 
To the surface without sinking — 
To the edge without a wing

So I ask without an asking 
And I stay without a name 
One hand in the empty evening 
Still reaching just the same



One Hand Clapping (Zen Koan)

Baby Dragon and Baby Bunny Ice Skating (Stephanie)

In the frozen rink, they love to play
Baby dragon and bunny, on a winter's day
They lace up their skates, and hold hands tight
And glide across the ice, with pure delight

Ice skating fun, for everyone
Baby dragon and bunny, under the bright sun
Twirling and spinning, they dance with glee
Best friends forever, wild and free

The dragon's scales shine, like ice so bright
The bunny's hat is warm, on this cold winter's night
They spin and they twirl, and they laugh with cheer
Their friendship grows stronger, with every passing year

Ice skating fun, for everyone
Baby dragon and bunny, under the bright sun
Twirling and spinning, they dance with glee
Best friends forever, wild and free

As the sun sets low, on this winter's day
They take one last spin, in their own special way
Their laughter echoes, across the frozen floor
As they leave the rink, with memories galore

Ice skating fun, for everyone
Baby dragon and bunny, under the bright sun
Twirling and spinning, they dance with glee
Best friends forever, wild and free

This House (David G)

The un-discussed turns us to fools
Pain & trust make their own rules
This house slips – into its dream

Hush now did you hear it?
A small sound on the breeze
Some how you’ve come to fear it

This house
This house

Speaking - becomes a mutter
Creaking - floors and beams
Breathing – with heart a flutter
This house slips (sweetly) into (so deeply) its dream

So cold……
so cold……
this house…..
is so cold

Ice forms, rain falls
Footsteps, in empty halls
Pounding - pleading
Somewhere, a voice calls

Mummy daddy
Is there a baddy
Creeping up on me

The unconfirmed fills us with dread
And we must go to where we are led
This house knows what it needs

Hush now can you hear it?
A small sound on the breeze
Oh how we’ve come to fear it

This house
This house

Speaking - becomes a mutter
Seeking – what might have been
Seeping – blood to gutter

This house - sleeps (sweetly)
inside (so deeply)
its dream.

This House (alternate version) (David G)

Ash in the Rain (Beth)

Ash in the Rain (Beth) 

I lit the fire for someone else 
Watched the smoke curl through the ceiling 
You spoke like dusk behind a veil 
Too tired for truth, too numb for healing

The windows wept, the clocks stood still 
Your coat still hung behind the door 
I drank the hours like bitter tea 
Waiting for less, wishing for more

Ash in the rain, and I’m still breathing 
Caught in the hush the world keeps leaving 
If silence could sing, it would sound like your name 
Falling through walls that don’t feel the same

The sea forgets, the shore pretends 
That every wave is born unbroken 
But I remember every bend 
Of every word we left unspoken

So go on — be the winter, I’ll stay the thaw 
We never needed what we never saw 
The night pulls tight like a borrowed skin 
But I won’t let the dark back in

Ash in the rain, and I’m still breathing 
Wearing the ache without believing 
If shadows could bloom, I’d give them your name 
And plant them where the stillness came

I lit the fire, now let it die 
No more ghosts to warm, no more why


Ash in the Rain (Beth)

I Lost a Shoe and I Lost a Sock (Zan)

Yeah, I lost a shoe
And I lost a sock
I tore my shoe
How’s that for naught
I ran out of gas
Late at night
On I-64
Now that’s not too bright
I had to walk a few miles
Until my feet were sore
Ended up in Bazitor’s 
back yard
Lights on
Yeah, I lost a shoe
And I lost a sock
I tore my shoe
How’s that for naught
I lost a shoe
It was a brand new sock
I’ve got a single shoe
Now doesn’t that suck
Thank you

Beacon (Ken Clinger)

beacon in the sky
brilliantly blazing
radiate waves of wonder
streams of energy
sustaining presence
focus suspended lives

opening eyes to splendor sleeping
definite without number
reaching beyond confused persuasion
unbounded spirits rise

interactive journey
thru the worlds below
gazing past the limits
to the essence that you know
rise beyond obscuring clouds
dominions of the sun
where wishes and reality are one

diamond in the sky
energy spreading
unspoken destination
solar magnitude
magnetic union
gathering in the light

opening hearts to tender sharing
intricate combination
inner eminence
abundant moment
reaching beyond delight

interactive journey
thru the worlds below
gazing past the limits
to the essence that you know
rise beyond obscuring clouds
dominions of the sun
where wishes and reality are one

crossing the horizon
at the edge of dawn
sunshine on the water rising
with the graceful swan
opening forgotten chambers
at the break of day
sunlight waking memories
as darkness fades away

beacon in the sky
increasing substance
ongoing destination
streams of brilliance
extending wisdom
expanding light of day

revealing sounds beyond the border
melting away the struggle
pleasure within the undertaking
ongoing dream display

interactive journey
thru the worlds below
gazing past the limits
to the essence that you know
rise beyond obscuring clouds
dominions of the sun
where wishes and reality are one

Who We Are (Kathleen)
lyrics & image by Kathleen & Meta AI

Who We Are (Kathleen)

In the hustle and bustle of everyday life
We often get caught up in the strife
Of what we do, of what we achieve
But in the end, is that all we need to breathe?
Our worth is not defined by our profession
Or the titles that we hold with great obsession
It's the heart that beats within our chest
That truly matters, and helps us find our rest

It's who we are, not what we do
That makes a difference, shines right through
Our character, our soul, our heart
That's what sets us apart, from the very start

We can be a doctor, a teacher, or a guide
But if our heart is not in it, we'll never thrive
We can have all the wealth, all the fame
But without kindness, love, and compassion, we're just a flame
That burns out quickly, without a spark
Leaving nothing but ashes, in the dark
So let's focus on who we are
And let our actions, be a reflection of our heart

We are more than our mistakes
We are more than our past, we are more than our fears
We are the sum of our choices
We are the product of our voices
So let's choose to be kind, to be brave
To be the light, that shines in the wave

It's who we are, not what we do
That makes a difference, shines right through
Our character, our soul, our heart
That's what sets us apart, from the very start

Life among the satellites
Love among the stars
shining our destiny
Ways we only dreamed
that slip away

Drifting with the satellites
Planets journey destined ways
in sympathy
Dreams we've only lived before
in memory

Floating with the galaxy
Generating light
that is our energy
Paths we've always dreamed
that slip away

Life among the satellites
Love among the stars
beyond our destiny
Life we've only known before
in dreams

About Hammers (John M Bennett)

Hammers
About hammers

I was jerking a hammer from the typewriter
I was throwing a hammer at the closet
I was hammering the TV antennae
Dropping a hammer on my footless shoe
And carrying a hammer into a room I inhabited last week

Hammers
About hammers

I was stroking a hammer
Feeling affection for the tiny flakes of rust on the hammer
With a hammer, I was reading a book
With a clawless hammer
I was casting a vote with a headless hammer
I was washing my face
I was winding my watch and counting my dollars
While a handleless hammer
sank to the bottom of a drawer of tools

Hammers
About Hammers

Hammers
About Hammers

I was hammer on the phone with an insurance man
While a hammer flew from the closet
And lodged in my shoulder
I was eating my hammer on rye
And thinking of my final hammer
Deep in my pocket
Awaiting its box
