(2014)
This evening the blank, white page is open. My nerves are on edge, while a storm forms on the horizon.
Not a word heard As the river flows Over rock, around Banks that lie Waiting for visitors.
The chimes outside the pottery studio ring like a temple bell, calling the faithful to honor,
Harsh reality smacks like a slap of cold wind. Sometimes I’m a tough sailor, at the helm,
Life is like a dream A star studded sky A blink of an eye Oh, how life slips by. Life is like a song
Holiday cheer and laughter, Multicolored lights blink faster, Music of love and good will, Grace the air like snowflakes. Tis the season to be compassionate…
It’s a billion stars moving and co… While we sleep. It’s one miracle after another and… We do not take the leap. It’s the great heave of nature
What inspires me... Hummingbirds buzzing as they land, on nearby flowers. Their amazing wings
Firefly shine your light, Brighten my life, Lead the way, through The meadows, in my mind. Firefly, float so high,
My spirit communes with the four directions: To the north are in-laws, our aging mother, her last
The wind went through me, it carried the yellow, orange and red leaves lightly on the air. Another change is coming,
In the noble purpose of my life, In the clear and quiet chamber Of my soul, In the open and warm cave Of my heart,
A path with heart Is full of love Which makes us right Brings in the light And chases the dark.
This is the America I know: A sea of white, black, red, yellow And brown faces, Strong minds and voices Raised to the sun,
The flesh withers as we age But our inner spirit Remains the same. And when the body dies The spirit breaks free
