It comes all at once
as it tends to do;
Not like a sucker punch,
or some massive wave
to knock me off my feet
but more of a gentle hand
held to a cheek
or a voice softened
that the child not only hear
but understand
What does it say?
That somewhere behind
these endless cycles of growth and suffering
is the mechanism that allows their becoming:
A choice
-Brandon White
The lessons are endless, you know
and from the wrong perspective,
that may seem tragic
All I mean to say
is that you'll be continuously unfolding
-Brandon White
Keep the circle around you small
make it tight;
give it armor
Keep the world out
The stranger tells me it's the only way
and he's right
and so very wrong
and I’ve no desire to sway him
one way or the other;
it isn't my place
No, I belong somewhere
closer to the center
anchored in that foreign
but familiar place
where the first domino fell
where this all began with a word
-Brandon White
Shades of The Mother - 12/6/23
The day begins
with strange new
shades of the mother
She comes to me
in the form of a large woman
in a tiny car
She’s in the oncoming lane,
nearly hitting me
while making a sharp turn
I see her clearly
All bright red lips and white teeth,
like a clown from hell
Show me the one
who pulls the levers of karma,
I want names
Will you love it all?
This is the question
each time I cross her path
I'll find a way
I'll continue to open myself,
to make room
-Brandon White
Watching my daughter
lean into her work is a joy
The furrowed brow,
intense concentration
Yes, this is the way, little bird
leave no stone, as they say
There are infinite ways
to bring the vision forward
and you're reminding me
of this every day
And saving me
by doing so
-Brandon White
