I often chance what life may be If allowed to thrive And wander far away from home So I may feel alive I often think of sorrow past Will it return again And wallow in self-pity Like a cage of utter pain I often feel a sense of loss But then true love is found […]

The umbrella moon
Under the umbrella moonI saw a girl despairThe apple tree – a canopyYet missing ’twas the chair Where could it be; I thought aloudAnd those nearby me heardA head tossed over shoulderA frown without a word The unbeknown, the silent voiceSpoke words I dare not writeThe page – a blankThe stage – the sameFor neither […]
The leaf
Go – be gone – away from here One rises from the mire And seek a better place for life That speaks of true desire Yearn for what the leaf – when flying Tells us all to be And walk the path to wonderment That takes us to the sea Delve in and splash the […]

Into the world of willows weeping I wander wondering when or whereI will smell thesalt air exclaiming; so long to bewilderingscenes of why declaring; yes, we share inthe lover’s cry and under those willows we can be seen gazing and sharingand caring and being as my gaze meets yours in a willful world as our […]

the afternoon’s surmise
Time flows through the afternoon In the shadows of the mind – Yet to control the effervescent life Secluded silence venting anger In the valley’s daunting hills Iridescent cloud replaced by thunder’s sky Lightning strikes – the trees shake (so do I) – Attention’s gaze diverts (life passes by) Leave be what’s […]
worldly wise
Worry not – for I am here my love Be sad if one need be Yet do not yearn For yearning sobers any man From the bluest sea the bluer sky And Earth shall always soil When it’s brown Problematic moments come and go So go – away – be gone No more a […]
When life was young
There was peace one dayin a world where life was youngThere was peace that daywhen instruments would strumThere was peace the daywhen hummingbirds had sungThere was peace; said theywhen you and I would comeTo the garden bloomingin the land of graceThe flower – blowing – in the wind – beside your faceAnd when you asked;can lifetime slow […]
