These Tiny Hands, Black and White HandsThese tiny hands. Black and White hands twirl. Vibrant palms ripple the Flower-land. Dancing onto the rainbowous piano. Music permeates the thirsty airs. Notes float upon the multi-hued keys –
Red
Orange
Yellow
Green
Blue
Indigo
Violet.
Black and White Hands on colorful keys. Magical hands whirling into aural anthems. Fists...

Birds“The reason birds can fly and we can't is simply because they have perfect faith, for to have faith is to have wings.”
- J.M. Barrie, The Little White Bird
Robins, wrens, sparrows,
quivering, yet silent, still
on limbs and branches, boughs,
heavy with rustling leaves,
their feathers brilliantly flaunted,
in cloaks...

Ode
Songs My Mother Sang'Twas early on I remember
hearing the voice so tender
sweetly interlaced
with loving splendor
Later on I noticed
how the words fell from her lips
her mouth, round and soft

Music of PeaceDo you hear the music?
Floating on the breeze
And the sweet song’s lyrics
Brings words of peace
The music sings of peace on earth
And the chiming of sweet bells
There is a flute playing
With sounds of harps as well
I can hear the choir
Chiming in on high
Sweet Sopranos, Altos,
Tenors, and...

Will Bring To Sing WithWill Bring To Sing With
Each time before we start to sing
A great voice will always bring
With us than can be enjoyed
Not be bad and people annoyed.
Tenors tremendous always are
Real, true sign of a raising star
And bases great are becoming
With each other will be chumming.

Win 'The Trip' MurrayWin ‘The Trip’ Murray
Some wish the life of stewardess; Win Murray was the ‘trip,’
more than a plane or ship at sea, with stops not on a map,
a riptide ocean surf conceals ’til shore’s long past earth’s curve.
More than great food a hostess serves, Win’s dish...

PalmettoI heard a Heavenly sound today,
I heard it so loud and clear.
It was so beautiful and so peaceful,
That the presence of God was near.
The sound was so very comforting,
With the altos and the tenors and bass.
If I would have closed my eyes,
I could have almost...

Singing To MeNot long ago before
parting from me forever
more.
You sang to me a
beautiful song.
I loved the resonated
altos
of your strong
voice.
I listened intently
your non-wavering
allegro
tones.
Would have listened
capturing your
syllables
more careful.
Spilling forth
your beautiful song
you sang to me.
In minds-echoes
you sang me a
song today.
Tears swell and my
Eyes closed and
Held you close....
