(2014)
Old friends walking on the beach, the waves bring in, memories, of carefree days;
Life is like a dream A star studded sky A blink of an eye Oh, how life slips by. Life is like a song
It is what it is Despite my wishes for it, Otherwise. You are who you are Despite my expectations,
Walking on the beach of long ago, the constant roll of the gulf, it’s sound, like a lullaby.
Cold spring rain chills my body And yet, the birds fly in unison As if, it is a sunny day. The white tail deer Bounce through the ravine
Memories of my childhood Visit more and more Each day, As ghosts of past relatives Cast their shadows,
White heron skidding the blue, grey water, of the bay. How free and easy you make it look,
My heart is a good heart, It beats strongly And works hard, To keep me alive. My mind is a good mind,
What inspires me... Hummingbirds buzzing as they land, on nearby flowers. Their amazing wings
Red cardinal dancing On white snow, How regal you appear With your cloak of red, How it cheers my heart
When I first heard “The Blackbird,” In the middle Of night, I was just thirteen.
Sitting on the lake shore, Which made my heart soar, The water rippled at times, Swirled into beautiful lines, Clouds reflected in it’s mirror,
Tonight, the wind whistles as it rushes through the atmospher… Winter’s bare limbs of swaying trees, dance in the shadows.
Remember the night we took your mother’s car and drove over the skyway bridge? The moon was a bright light to show the way.
What is truth? It’s a changing sky, One day clear, The next, cloudy, Holding the blue and grey,
