We oft’ are engulfed with our trampoline thoughts.
With gossiping beaks, they chirp and they flap.
We mimic their tweets, in our minds, as we beat......

Autumn Breeze

When the magic is gone
and all the stars have fallen,

In this barren land devoid of a breeze

Grace and Solitude
...Emerging from sleep dream temerity,
his remote aurora spectral prisms
from which his wakefulness gives legerity,
from which surfaces new burgeoning aphorisms.

A Glimpse Within - I
...The salt water
baubles washes
gently
upon the jetty sent
from lands distant.
Pushed by a hovering
yellow moon,
sometimes built into

Grabbing a jacket I walk down the stairs
Beside the window where winter is lurking
Waiting about as if nobody cares

...As my way is made among the thorns,
An inner beauty a rose adorns.
A darkness present, tries to hide,
Still, the rose blooms bright inside.
The thicket of thorns, of brambles too,
Meant to dis......

Decorates life with beauty, gemstones.
