Best In Sight Poems

the words of wild wonder are quiet, so still
lost in translation the thunder, the thrill
lines now just maim, they wound, and they kill
but strength has returned, to live and to will

flowered remembrance, I stamp and I crush
I turn a deaf ear to yesterday's rush
I dream...

Resting atop the highest tree
Gazing all that is around me
Enjoying nature feeling free.

Weather is cool with a soft breeze,
Sinuous midst mid-autumn seas
Of glorious shades of dry leaves;
Spiraling gently downward weaves,
Beneath the bluish shade of trees.

Light-shower of cool rain appease,
Sunshine reflects rainbow of peace.

My heart's rhythm...

Winter is on the tips of her fingers.
Winter is silver on her breath as she exhales,
oxygen stamped with her name, forgotten
as either one,  
stiffening into smoke like her hair
against the twilight.
Her tears are winter on her face -
winter ice like her eyes when she...

Sunshine warms my skin 
Skin browns a shade darker
Darker ivory still pale
Breeze caresses my face
Face seeks sweet smells
Sweet Hyacinths and jonquils
Green grows new life
Mower sputters and dies...

Today, I was determined to fly a kite;
There was plenty of wind with no clouds in sight.
Strenuously I checked the strength of the twine;	 
I didn’t want any troubles fouling up my line.
The knots that I tied were quite snug;
Each line was checked with a...

Are my Last Legs in Sight?

Are my ‘Last Legs’ in Sight?

My time’s ‘last legs?’ Are knees (or some cylinders knocking)?
I’ve petal to metal (feel stuck in low gears).
Left side’s window won’t open; oil under hood freshens
cab air (is it dripping, perhaps, on exhaust?)
Of late, dipstick’s...

year of distance and isolation, 
brought sadness for the entire world 
bravery, courage and hope - 
almost won a battle, 
fight is not over.
every day close
to our goals .. 
joy and
peace.

love 
kindness 
inspire us,
zest for living ~
feel stronger calmer 
each day is enchanting ~ 
world has so much to offer  
life brings unending love and...

after leaving the shrink in question,
s/he pondered while walking down the street
outside her/his office,
wondering just what the next one would look like,
wondering just how long it would take
before s/he’d be rid of the next one &
why did it always go this way to begin with?
just...

Boat yard lights disguise,
Twisting sinews of the tide.
Surging waters rush.
Moon-pulled flow, fierce undertow,
Stole my love to depths below....

If I do, I hope that I
Exit in the presence 
of Jesus Christ
we go far back
do he and I
for his greater mercy
once saved my life

Five long lost years
have past since then
I gave my all
so he forgave my sins
a weary soul, crucified
I hope he's holding me

The rat was astounded, he had expected the stork today.
But his mail was delivered at two by a sweet blue jay.
“No other delivery birds in sight?” Mr. Rat asked, expectantly.
“Maybe in the afternoon, but it would be after three,”...
