She Sits
Thinking of nothing really.
Her lovely hand lets the water trail over it as she sits,
Wondering of nothing really.
The absolute beauty of nature fills her mind,
Dreaming of nothing really.
Only feeling the coolness of the water,
And it's gentle pressure on her hand.
Wishing for nothing really.
Only the rustling of leaves stirred by the wind does she hear,
Hoping for nothing really.
Only that this peace in her mind will last,
Thinking of nothing really.

Within the Flow
Useless is fighting the inevitable.

Life flows around us like wind and water,
Circumstance comes at us like rocks and snags.
At times caught in the current are we,
Struggling hard we try to become free.

Differently
I see things with a different light,
From the center of my soul,
It shines to illuminate my world.
Making me look deeper.
Layers murky yesterday,
Become clear.

The Point Man
For Georg.......
Fatigues have turned from green to brown,
From lying on the fetid ground.
Walking in paddies the feet do sink,
Ants, leeches, and three step snakes.
Can't I go home for goodness sakes.
A nasty pit with Punji Stakes.
A "Booby Trap," the line I see,
Across the path in front of me.
I raise my

Pensive she sits by the stream,

The Path of a Creative Thinker at CTI
1. Membership at CTI is free and open to all those interested in either the production or appreciation of the creative arts, to include literature, visual art, dance, music, film, spiritual theory, the social sciences, philosophy, general humanities, scientific inquiry, education in general, and other disciplines intended to enhance the quality of life for all humanity.
2. Materials posted by Members of CTI are their sole responsibility and not that of CTI management or any other member of the CTI site.
3. While recognizing that the work of creative artists is often controversial by its very nature, CTI prohibits and discourages the posting of any overtly obscene and intentionally inflammatory material. These include overt pornography, racist diatribes, religious slander, and any postings promoting discrimination against or the oppression of other human beings.
4. In the interest of stimulating creative growth, we encourage dialogue and even debate. However, Members should avoid leaving intentionally offensive or antagonistic remarks on the pages of Fellow Members. We can disagree and still remain a harmonious community.
5. Explore, grow, share, and enjoy your creative success.
Please remember, these guidelines are likely to evolve as the site itself continues to evolve and develop. We welcome and encourage your input. After all, yours are some of the best minds on the planet so we would be very foolish not to listen to what you have to say.
