    About this ebook

    Our search begins at birth, and the odyssey ceases... well, we don't know when.  The answers are often hard come by, or, not at all; many times, the quest's resolution is not the response we may have wished for.  Consider this joust something more to attempt to tilt, to champion, as if, perhaps, a poetic pinball game.

    D. Lionberger

    Retirement has provided the opportunity to take the plunge I have longed for-- to immerse myself in the waters of creative writing. Whether torpedoed, or not, it is a mental medium that may prevent torpidity from setting in.

      1. Here there’s no rainy season.Sun scalds my forehead,yet the pool is empty. Beside it,a toppled table, its glass surface shattered.The asphalt is too hot for bare feet. 2. Far away: white hillocksand white dunes under a deepblue sky. Swirling winds

      Quizotic Journey - D. Lionberger

      Above San Diego Bay

      ––––––––

      Enjoying the view,

      stars’ display above

      and, aurora-like,

      city reflected in bay.

      Minding the sights,

      tittering, too,

      in stealth mode.

      Imagine our surprise,

      when we saw zigzagging above

      and tripping throughout

      the starry night sky,

      a red light in flight,

      moving rapidly,

      turning sharply, many times,

      at ninety degree angles,

      as if a laser pointer,

      on a blackboard,

      before they were sold,

      in spite of the bright moon.

      We both bore witness

      to this baffling phenomenon

      from the base of a seawall,

      hidden, below the road,

      on a small Coronado beach.

      Going fishing we called it.

      San Diego city's night lights,

      fluidly psychedelic,

      kaleidoscopically reflected

      off of the choppy bay.

      Exhaling, sharply,

      losing some smoke,

      lids opened wide

      as we watched the heavenly show.

      What the hell did we see,

      moving through the night sky?

      Still, filled with wonder,

      but, not doubt,

      I still trust my eyes.

      A Renaissance

      ––––––––

      The tree that survives the storm,

      though bough bared and branches broken,

      grows taller, stronger,

      to better sway with the wind.

      Act
