(2014)
Thoughts about pain.
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…
Just a small part of me wants strife to go away, to return to a kinder time. Am I just losing courage? Life is draining me,
Red sun in the morning rolling up the side of earth. The sky turned pink, as a ball of fire showed it’s strength,
Pink hues from the west Filter through Snow covered boughs Leaving, The evening light
Time is going by fast, Trying not to live in the past, To keep priorities straight And not falter at the gate. To join the universal goal
Life is not fair at times... But of course things Change quickly down the line, We are born into a No guarantee world.
Birds flying here and there, landing on branches to chirp and bare, their heart. A private club among the trees with their own private code.
Oh hummingbird Where are you now? Have you taken My courage with you? Oh hummingbird
Red, yellow and orange leaves Fall quickly now And create a tapestry of color That fill my mind With joy.
Rolling painted deserts of the west. Shrub bushes dot sloping hillsides. Relentless sun heats up
There is my shadow, A dark outline of this body And yet, it also holds,
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,
Mr. R. would talk about his deceased brother, he dreamed about him frequently; also of an eagle
Red cardinal dancing On white snow, How regal you appear With your cloak of red, How it cheers my heart
