They drank heavily in their p...

His soul screamed with silent rage
Wings of steel bound
Moments gone forever stolen
Within the confines of his mind
He tries to calm what remains
of this t...

Grow visions of colorful hues
Throw star dust into the night.

Small Things

With faith... lies
all hope

***we are truly

It is the small

...Spring harkens the sun
Kaleidoscope of colors
harmoniously dance
Enchanting the woodland glow
An explosion of prisms pool.

It was a small black Hillman bought for one hundred dollars
It drove for three weeks on a tank of fuel
Never letting me down except when it rained
You s...

A Tree In Winter
...The tree stood stark and lonely,
All naked in the cold.
Her branches bare, her lovely leaves,
The breath of Winter stole.
In spite of all she stood yet proud,
Her branches raised to Heaven,
A silent...

Tree
...The tree shuttered in the cold
It had to be so darn bold
It lost the leaves that adorned
Naked, now forlorn
