Weedy Eschatology
Weedy Eschatology
By Mark D. Stucky
The aging street mourns its faded splendor.
It remembers having red tulips and roses
in manicured, fertilized, emerald lawns
in community yards lining its borders.
But neighborhoods gradually decayed,
and nobody’s planted flowers in years.
The asphalt’s...

Hopeful AssuranceBy faith and fate, we heal
Heaven will mend the way we feel

The horizons will all turn white
Gray clouds will fall and feelings turn right
Prowess will...

My first memories are full of your dear face
Kind brown eyes, edged with wrinkles, a mere trace
I can't see a frown nor fretful scowl, only a gap toothed grin
With a pompadour,...

Ruminations of a RomanceWinter’s cold chill cuts through my chin.
Within its bleak and brazen embrace,
My brisk days are turned brief and barren.
They are lengthened into sordid sepulchral insomniac nights.
I slither and slip and am hurled into hibernation.
Once I...

You feel you’re at the end of your rope.
You’re walking on the ocean floor.

There’s something about mist, indefinable,
Hazy as a shadow,
Haunting the heart,
Heavy with hope…
There’s something about shafts of light,
Creating a trembling desire,
Coloring the spirit fiery,
Urging reflections, rising…
There’s...

Tried and tied in the knots of life;
Desperately seeking wife's;
Separate the rooms, implant shame doom;
Body...

Delicate feathers,
Pieced together by the most fragile feelings,
Seeds, insects, air scented
With the freshest light, soft and still,
Tranquility,
Listening to dusk’s gentle quiet,
Fireflies glowing,
The flow of a rhythm
In sun, moon and stars…
His universe, His skies,...

A Hint of Hope
She gazes past the golden fields
beyond the wheat that summer yields
above the solitary oak, so still
where a lazy hawk, with circles fill.
He feels the drifts in windswept skies
her soul goes drifting, by...

Absolution
Once upon a time, in a land of heart
There came a thundering desire,
Even though God has set this one apart,
Chosen them for service, love’s magnifier!
When this heart realized their backsliding,
They opened the bible, turning to...

Of wasted time and worry, and debts....
