(2014)
The red cardinal high in a tree, caught my attention with his melodious chirp on my daily walk.
Summer is near it’s end, I regret not visiting my childhood home, near the gulf, where the sunset
Walking on the beach of long ago, the constant roll of the gulf, it’s sound, like a lullaby.
The white snow, thin Like sand, over The fields, blowing Across the road. My car rambles
The hummingbirds are buzzing As well as the bees. The Orioles land gingerly On top of the feeder. Cautiously they move down
Life is not fair at times... But of course things Change quickly down the line, We are born into a No guarantee world.
On the brink of leaving, To go beyond These borders And say good-bye, To all you know,
Life is like a dream A star studded sky A blink of an eye Oh, how life slips by. Life is like a song
Great scientific minds Working for cures Of terminal diseases, The clock ticks... What is the cure
Some days you’re in bliss, Some days you’re in pain. Some days you’re up in the clouds, Some days you’re down in the flame… Some days you get what you want
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
Orange full moon with a half smile, a hanging lantern, lighting the way, through dark streets,
Thoughts flicker like twinkling lights, ride them across the sky. Embrace your dream,
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
As I enter my sixty-third year, Fall leaves grace the path I love, With hues of red, Gold and orange.
