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.

When she bumped into a young punk
Before he knew it
She simply blew it
Is that what they call a "Slam Dunk"?...

Shall 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!

Though tamer in my summer years,

A cardinal’s perched on a limb
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.

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...
