Before I knew the day, the time
He’d die, 
I came home to him,
My little smile, knowing he’d
Be there, he was always there
Always aware I was his
Defender, his reminder that
Some of us were willing to believe
In his war with intruders
Intruders who were often invisible
Yet, unmistakably real
Like...

The Compound (Hotel California 2002)
A bad taste washes around my mouth,
I screw up my face to spit it all out.
Over Nevada desert and endless sands,
This nightmare place such lonesome land.
Dark night skies over high wind seas,
Sat on the shore, it washes over me.
Blue washed to black as black became...

Twas Christmas 2002
‘Twas December, two thousand two;
Christmas, of course, and my main thought -
Decking the halls on Tye Avenue.

With a broken leg, I’m in a stew,  
my house, the only bare spot.
‘Twas December, two thousand two.

Grandkids, my volunteer work crew,
tied my heart in a granny knot....

30 some years since
On the moon we were.
How old "our" then ?
How old "our" now ?
We played cards a few weeks befor,
We played cards a few weeks ago.
It was near full then,
It's near full now,
30 some years since last
We were on the on the moon....

A Baby Cries - 17 December 2002
This world of creativity…
Wonderful our Creator must be.
For you and I are here today.
Our sounds touch the air.

I am praying by a full moon.
The Motion of this universe
is where my thoughts are.
There where I tread the Presence of God.
I thank Him for His Wisdom.
I thank...

Trapped In a Sinful Body - 2002, Edited For Personal Growth
They still won't admit they fall short
They go on kidding themselves the truth
They go mad trying to be the perfect one
They are conspirators, who have too many times won. 
They are artificial leaders who eventually get caught
They are trapped in the sinful body that drives...

Untaken Advice - 2002
She can't remember a woman who gave her ever so great advice
Instead of taking it, she risked her life on a dice
She told her how to respect and love herself in her youth
She didn't tell her what to do; it was her decision to choose
She...

First Love (2002)
Fading in 
Fading out
Waves that come
When there's no doubt
That love is near 
And suns are close
You feel the one 
You need the most
Its all about
Even though
Stood on shore
Waves to toes
Under amber skies
Touching seas of blue
All I'm thinking is:
Why not with you?...

2000-2002
Class of 2002,
this year is at it's end.
Juniors we will be next year,
while keeping our Sophomore friends.

Although I will be leaving soon,
I take a part of this school with me,
Knowing next year will be a newer place,
where you'll no longer be.

I take each memory shared...

2002-2008
St Judes sent a picture of Bryce
under it two big numbers
counted out a small life
I said to myself
"He lost his fight."
one of the plights
of human life

every month St. Judes
send's a picture
one of the little ones 
fighting cancer

every month
i say a prayer
"excuse me God.
are you there?

here's...

Premium Member Hawaii /Cauldron of the Crone 2002
A froth of turquoise topped waves
pummeled the lava stone
grinding asphalt-black slabs into bits which hugged the waters edge.
Skeletal shards of white coral were scattered
amongst the dried, scorched after birth.
Relentlessly, the ocean pounded
leapt with a jet-engine roar into the air.
Balancing droplets of salt water
upon lichen covered...

One Day Is Today June 6, 2002
One day this will all be over and
All these tears will fade away.
One day I’ll hold everything in my hands and 
Make it mine and my heart will understand this life.
One day I'll take a chance and
Find myself underneath all of this pain, I created...

Free - 2002
I am free, so totally free
Yet the anger still lies in me
So many tell me, let it go, let it be
But I tell them it is so plain to see
I will though, one day get over this
I will one day find the one for me...

36 Years  2002

Let us rekindle the flame of love again
and stir up memories 
when we were young
and had no fear of growing old
but time has passed
and here we are as vintage wine
whose time has come 
to blossom to a sweet  bouquet
so let ...
