Being Teary About a QueryEyes Being Teary About a Query
Our eyes were worn out while being teary;
Then had looked round for another query,
Hesitating,
And contemplating
Try to discover what had been new theory.

A Query For Missing FriendsWhere
have the
poets gone?
Our Soup seems bland
and it's growing cold.
Might it be re-heated?
Activity is the stove
that warms it. To my vanished friends:
Is there something you want to tell me?

Answering Your QueryBreaking free from regret and fear,
I will arise, my spirit soar,
and to the grace of God draw near.
To share with those who do not have,
a hug, a smile, a loaf of bread,
and words of hope, a healing salve.

Answering Your QueryShall I but relish every song
Of laughter graced from folks I meet;
Those lifetime tunes that chime along.
The dreamer in me sparks a way
For cares and trials, far from harm
Believing that hope lilts each day!

alert on a branch long fallen
from the poplar I’d planned to trim.
But I never planned to receive
a red bird bright in front of me—
a gift so stark and soon to leave.

quixotic query -
can you tell me ...
where have true hearts gone -
bosoms that heave
with thrums of passion and mystery?
could it be these antediluvian
eyes are just shortening shadows -
daubing change and momentum with
the dark shades of what was?
I yearn for a kindred soul
of that rare ilk -
one I...
