A poet you say?

Flaming White Horse

Words take form
Beneath my pen
Reflecting places
I have been

Adventures taken
Lessons learned
Choices made
Wisdom earned

Memories drifting
In my mind
Remnants of
Another time

Times I've struggled
And made it through
Old beliefs
Displaced by new

Relationships
That didn't last
Stuck attention
In the past

The turbulence
Of changing years
Forced to face
Relentless fears

As members of
The human race
We all have demons
We must face

Love and loss
Dragons slain
We've all known joy
We've all felt pain

It seems we're after
Similar things
Searching for peace
Spreading our wings

Releasing the crap
It took years to acquire
Climbing our way
Back out of the mire

A prince to come save us
On his flaming white horse
Who'll get the steed
Should it end in divorce?

For our hearts to be happy
And our minds to be still
Consider how sacred
The gift of free will.

Dan Coppersmith


Food For Thought

Sometimes we whine
Gripe and complain
Singing the victim's
Familiar refrain

Blaming the world
For all that's wrong
Each new day
The same old song

It's a trap we crawl into
A place where we hide
Keeping our spirit
Stuffed deep inside

Somehow forgetting
We determine our fate
That the life which we lead
We chose to create

Each decision we make
Each thought we embrace
Affects the complexion
Of the world we face

If our food for thought
Is a negative meal
That is what
We will taste as real

If we dwell on anger
Injustice and pain
We'll tend to attract
More of the same

If we suffer, hopeless
At the mercy of all
We are the ones
Keeping us small

Placing the blame
On somebody else
Puts the solution
Outside of ourselves

Recognizing
We are Source
Awakens the captain
To master his course.

Open minded, adventurous, creative, kinesthetic. I have a remarkable ability to capture beauty through the lens of a camera. I have many areas of interest and income, and they all seem to be centered around the theme of healing. I do energy work. My words and photography are healing in nature, as is my gentleness of spirit. If you want to know more, just ask.
