If only the sun didn’t carry heat If only winter did not bring snow If only the water lapped at my feet If only I could reap and sow If only I saw the future, told If only I could tell what I had in store If only I lacked regret for days of old If […]

helping hand
A hand reached out in time of need, Rain in time of drought. Fingers interlaced, accede, Bud blooms from planted seed. A hand reached out, come what may, In time of loss, of sorrow. Transfixed, hand in glove. To stay? Or would, once more, in time, away? A hand reached out, no more the poorer […]
i thought
I thought I heard her flap her ears That day when I awoke I thought I heard her by my side That day when I first spoke I thought I felt her lick my face ‘Get up, the day’s begun’ I thought I saw her wag her tail But there was only one I thought […]
Kingdom come
What I’d give to find a Queen For a Kingdom, almost lost Sweet reflection, I have seen Of femininity, embossed Gentle care, emotive strength The sun grows ever stronger Queen or Kingdom, is that my choice? The days grow ever longer Whereupon the sun goes down A Princess now awaiting To relieve the King from […]
Moral Absolution

Companionship is saved. A crack when club meets ball Its seamless, silent, fate Hands on wheel, foot to floor Then […]
the world beyond the fatal shore
The world beyond the fatal shore Not like the world in days before Danger we could glean Danger knows not, of hill-top morn’ Or life of old-country, worn Hard yakka it had been But enough of hills, enough of grass You knew young love would never last Life offers so much more Past the dip, […]
But once
Tell me that the Earth is round I’ll convince you it is square Tell me there’s justice in the world I’ll tell you it’s unfair Tell me to sit down I’ll surely want to stand Tell me you prefer the hills I’ll run along the sand Tell me; turn toward the right I’ll move further […]
Remembrance
The cotton-fields triggered his sense of loss Remembrance shone through It meant so much to him It meant nothing unto you. The summer sky was bright, the moonlight warm Who’d imagine what’d gone before? Hell on Earth had been to visit Desperate times in days of yore. He knew before his family passed Sweet Jesus […]
I go with you
I am going nowhere Unless I go with you You are my light upon the hill You are the morning dew I am your hill-view drive You are my avenue You are my midday sunshine You are as bright as sky is blue I am the valley you traverse You are my mountain view You […]
