(2015)
Red bird perched on a tree limb laced with snow. So happy to see him and the joy he brings.
What inspires me... Hummingbirds buzzing as they land, on nearby flowers. Their amazing wings
The white snow, thin Like sand, over The fields, blowing Across the road. My car rambles
On a walk, many Brown-Eye Susan line the border, before the woods. Rain clouds move closer as if to give a hug, while
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,
Rolling painted deserts of the west. Shrub bushes dot sloping hillsides. Relentless sun heats up
Dark bulk of a single bird, With red puffed up chest, As winter’s breeze sways his perch…
I heard past generations In my son’s voice, I saw his life fly Into another dimension, A place, I can only imagine.
Photos are all I have At times, Of smiling familiar faces, My family spread out. I would travel often
Life is not fair at times... But of course things Change quickly down the line, We are born into a No guarantee world.
Not sure where we are headed, Could be a long ride, Keep your heart steady, Open wide your eyes. There is something to learn
Great scientific minds Working for cures Of terminal diseases, The clock ticks... What is the cure
The gift of summer Is the sound of a Creek flowing through Rocks. A blue bird perched
Oh hummingbird Where are you now? Have you taken My courage with you? Oh hummingbird
