(2014)
After hearing a favorite song and remembering a difficult time, a poem came out
Looking at my journal’s Blank page While geese fly by and honk A greeting. The red cardinals
An owl hoots on this cool, crisp Spring night. A sound that’s distant yet echos
Tonight, the wind whistles as it rushes through the atmospher… Winter’s bare limbs of swaying trees, dance in the shadows.
What is truth? It’s a changing sky, One day clear, The next, cloudy, Holding the blue and grey,
I lay still While my loved one, Sleeps. His warm hand In my hand,
What inspires me... Hummingbirds buzzing as they land, on nearby flowers. Their amazing wings
In the bright moments My mind is a flame, Melting obstacles, Gaining gifts of wisdom. In the dark moments
Time passing by now In a blink of the eye, In the clap of a hand, In the chirp of a bird, In a flash of light
Photos are all I have At times, Of smiling familiar faces, My family spread out. I would travel often
Leaves falling, Another season Decorating the earth. One red leaf In my path,
Red and gold leaves Falling, Sing to me Of the season of change, Before the snow,
Harsh reality smacks like a slap of cold wind. Sometimes I’m a tough sailor, at the helm,
In the dead Of Winter, I long for Spring. In the rains Of Spring,
Last night I dreamt that I floated above the clouds, above the earth and my heart
Old friends walking on the beach, the waves bring in, memories, of carefree days;
