Time and TrainsThroughout the years, at different destinations
even through four seasons and twelve months
the trains come daily, arriving at the stations
people board during work days and holidays
some have a journey for hours on end
the minutes pass, as pairs have conversations
seconds tick by on folk's watches....

WE SEE LONDON DAY 4
After I woke up and went out to our little balcony to write…
a ladybug landed on my computer and decided there to stay
As she traversed the perimeter of my computer…
I knew it was going to be great day
We took the tube to Buckingham Palace…where more history was unlocked.
We strode the rooms and hallways where kings...

ObjectionsThe real purpose of the visa tourism
Is the humiliation of the guests
Its “us and them” post tribal atavism
The applicants are treated like suspects
The so called survey list interrogates
Some questions that can't be rationalized
To play a reason to pass through the border gates
Despite prejudice that you are crimnalized
The papers you submit might...

Calm Waters, Safe Harbour
I've been to a few strange places in my day
some hotter than the hottest spot on the sun
some colder than the coldest crater on the moon
and all the while I was looking for someone
looking here looking there I was searching everywhere
now I found you you are the one my searching days are done
for my heart...

I SEE LONDON I SEE FRANCE
Every day we’re making memories…we’re out in the world having fun…
and every day, if I am lucky, I write a few lines about one…
But with our suitcases and passports packed…and armed with Google translator
For the next 10 days we’ll be making so many memories…
I’ll have to write abut them later.
We are celebrating Ava’s graduation
Making memories...

Waiting at the bus stopa bobble hat fellow rumbles along
sharp turns behind me - hello -
but reaches up to the wall
grabs an apple 80 percent intact
and hobbles away again
a few seconds later he's back again
turns behind me, bends low
and picks up the soggy, abandoned
box of donuts
two inside remaining
successful mission
he wobbles away...

train whistle thoughts
train whistle,
a seldom heard sound, long and low this morning
I wonder if this train is transporting people or cattle
or people treated like cattle
or cattle dressed like people...

A Strange PairThere was an old man from Fargo,
With a wife whose name was Margo.
They were quite the pair
Neither had much hair
They traveled the world with no cargo!

People Travel Past us in Planessky noises alert me to people way up
ten thousand feet, whom I doubt can see my pup
I sit in my forest, writing this little poem
most grateful to God that I have a nice home.
Do my dogs realize that people just flew by?
Neither of them cares to look up into the sky.
Same kind of noise but...

the place where people goGreece's sun is warmer than other suns
her floral and fauna are prettier
she is the place where dreams come true
every doorway hides a story of love
it is the place where people go to be whole...

Posaidon's SurfboardUpon the waves where the wild winds sing,
A tale unfolds of a vessel and its wing;
Through the tide, it dances, graceful and free,
Harnessing the ocean's heart, a sight to see.
With cargo holds filled, treasures abound,
From the Pacfic to the Atlantic, dreams resound.
A bill...

When You're In A RushWhen you're in a rush almost every light is red
Part of the problem is not wanting to get out of bed
Fooling around and doing everything at last minute
Rush hour isn't rushing when your out there in it
Some things feels as if it requires too much time
Stopping on a dime isn't happening at stop signs
The normal...

HomeAs I stand on the rocky shore of the bay
I look over to the distant bank
Not to look back in want
But to look back in remembrance
Of what I had left behind
To remind myself
of how far God has brought me.
I turn to look toward the future
With great expectations
I move with new hope and...
