(2013)
Today, I wish the pain to go, the fatigue that I fight so. This process of aging is unkind and yet, the law of nature is a fast lane of change.
Pale blue moon Of August, Peeking behind The clouds, Luminous,
Life is a day dream So they say, With every beat Of my heart, The gate to love
Twilight slides in quietly as birds fly to warm nests. Pink hues of evening reflect in the clouds. Soon the moon
An owl hoots on this cool, crisp Spring night. A sound that’s distant yet echos
When you are not here An empty heart full of fear Arises and wonders If I will see you again. What will I do without
Many thoughts in the mind, Some productive, some not. They glow like fires, Created by needs and
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.
In the dead Of Winter, I long for Spring. In the rains Of Spring,
Cool breeze rustles through the tr… drifting into my open door and leads me to the window to see leaves falling with abandon. Highlights of red and gold lace
Photos are all I have At times, Of smiling familiar faces, My family spread out. I would travel often
What is the happiest moment of the… When I make someone laugh When I am of use for the good When I show kindness When I hold a hand
Orange full moon with a half smile, a hanging lantern, lighting the way, through dark streets,
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
If we could embrace our sorrow and surf on our tears, surely our hearts would grow wider to hold the years
