(2014)
Walking on the edge, Between awareness and sleep. Sometimes... I’m in the moment, I feel my body,
Dark bulk of a single bird, With red puffed up chest, As winter’s breeze sways his perch…
Photos are all I have At times, Of smiling familiar faces, My family spread out. I would travel often
The many places I have been And countless faces I have seen, The many tales to be told, Into the universe, they unfold. It’s all a passing show,
Not sure what to write while the world is on the brink of another war. While others face
I heard past generations In my son’s voice, I saw his life fly Into another dimension, A place, I can only imagine.
Inhale, the arms float up, Exhale, the arms float down, Namaste, at the heart. Inhale, the body bends, Hands at top of mat,
Pale blue moon Of August, Peeking behind The clouds, Luminous,
I remember your smile, your laugh,… you gave so freely. It’s hard that you are gone. I sigh and walk along the bay.
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
Not sure where we are headed, Could be a long ride, Keep your heart steady, Open wide your eyes. There is something to learn
As we shared stories, The warm hum of voices heard, A cup of love spilled.
Thoughts flicker like twinkling lights, ride them across the sky. Embrace your dream,
In the dead Of Winter, I long for Spring. In the rains Of Spring,
Red and gold leaves Falling, Sing to me Of the season of change, Before the snow,
