Pericles
a student of history
can delve into the past
to understand the life of Pericles
and his role that was cast
ocular* success
as he pursued his visions
when life itself
influenced his decisions
directional changes
ocular revisions
influencing an era of
an Athenian Golden Age
times of great change

what is it that distorts
our belief in the past?
what was new information
or is it how it was cast?
the shock of understanding
that change now must come
what damage has happened
and can it be undone?

Fragmented Faith
there are somethings we cannot question
and others we must
our heart’s guidance is strongest
and where we put our trust
and then comes the immensity
of what we believed
suddenly changes in a major way
it is not the heart that deceives
it is the resistance
to the change we must face
and our wanting for the sameness
that has now fallen from grace
