In a sweet silence, I sit beside the elderly who have known time as an old friend, And I feel how their presence is like an open window to memories carefully wrapped, Their words flow slowly, like a river winding through the stones of a life lived, Their eyes wander between sky and earth, searching in worlds only...

Jewels rolled down your shirt— for a moment, your shoulder turned to rain. We lifted our eyes to that infinite blue and just as swiftly, twilight fell again: another star kindled beyond the sky’s edge. I’d fold a thousand cranes for you, or chase a million scattered stars. What fate is this, where light refuses to dim? Where debts of love lie quietly...

It is not the strength of demands that keeps it switched on, but resilience in wake of striving. Having compassion for slips of self is not surrender nor judgmental. It's the little gives that firms the grip to tug in light of flame....

"To Walk Beside You" I met you in the silence Between laughter and retreat, Where fire met still water And wild hearts dared to meet.

In the cold of November, we lay like angels sharing...

I could be going deaf in my right ear. One of the neighbor’s dogs has it out for me one day it will break down it’s fence and like the Berlin Wall I will be history. I think I might end up homeless for a time or sleep in a shelter one eye open in the back of...

You waited for me by the Banyan trees, their roots dangling in the air, reaching out to caress your soft skin glistening in the early morning light. We’d sit under their shade, your head placed carefully on my shoulder, watching the wall of crystal waters that fell from the towering rock that stretched to the sky, overgrown and drowning in evergreen and spread into...

Parading years of memory, clearly ever, we were to be. Emotions of stored treasury, whenever you walk beside me.

In familiar embrace we stroll, whenever you walk beside me. Parading years of memory, whenever you walk beside...
