Flowers are blooming on the volunteers’ desk:
Roses, carnations, a spring bouquet,
Dish gardens and gold mums (a more masculine look,
The florist said).
Blooming like a garden
Of well-wishes and sentiment,
Blooming here in the hospital lobby
(Well, after all, it is spring).
Each vase or container bears a card.
What is its...

I was turning the bed,
knife-deep in dirt when I felt it:
that ache in the wrists
from too much tending.
And there she was again—
not in the muscle,
in the memory.

Being her friend was like this:
feeding a ghost with phantom limbs,
never full, never proof enough.

She wore collapse like a...

When the sun rises 
and it is shining brightly 
on the entire earth. 

When  Holy Spirit
enters a holy person, 
stays permanently.

When demons enter
a dirty person , can be 
chased out easily.

But some people can 
keeping demons for Secret 
aims & deals  in their...

Compassionate Volunteers

Does not matter what day, month or even time of year
Volunteers are always well deserved and are always here
They help with the impoverished, food banks
Babies and even with the elderly and the sick
All volunteers really know they surely have been
enthusiastically picked!

For when seeing them...

Today some people came to help me stack wood
At this cabin I live, with wood piled high.
Restricted by an injury I have had.
Yet, these people have had injuries too.
Brain injuries in the past.
Yet recovering and able to volunteer in this way.
One man told me about...

sirens pierce the snowy air
demanding - a sudden call to action
vehicles fill the town hall lot
uniforms cover regular clothes
teams converge...
fire truck emerges and 
leaves with rapidly assembled crew…
neighbors doing what neighbors do...

A world without volunteers, 
Will only produce tears,
With the sum of all our fears,
Seeing more chased by bears,
Or constantly running up and down stairs,
In the absence of volunteers,
With few now living out their allotted years.

A world without volunteers,
Would bring no more world cups,
Or exciting sporting...

Poetry is much like a Great Photo,Capturing feelings and emotions of a single moment in 
time;then preserving it for future history books.Next generation learns.
Hurricane Katrina gives a lesson.For the next generation of Americans.
"TAKE CARE OF BUSINESS, A STITCH IN TIME SAVES NINE."
Yet they live on...

A cold hard military
signed up for a bloodbath
marching two by two
down the path to oblivion.
Row by row
with cargo in tow
Their blackened hollowed eyes see their end.
Hand in hand
they meet their Gods and all their Devils
they have their picks
they have their shovels
to dig their shallow graves
just...

Volunteers were summoned
To bring water and supplies
To the folks in darkened buildings
Since Con Edison's* demise.

With their backpacks fully loaded,
They trudged up the pitch-black stairs,
Lugging food and drink but even more - 
The fact that someone cares.

For some people who were stranded,
Sitting lonely, in the dark,
Such...

Volunteers,
Share each and every year.
They give their best.
They are motivated individuals,
Who have passed the test,
Which covers nobility, generosity, sincerity, and pride.
They lead us to the path of happiness and success,
With their hearts opened wide.
They guide the future to vast horizons,
With unselfish guidance.
Volunteers,
The chief examples of...

Following acts of terror
rapt within their spell
volunteers move in concert
kindness starts to swell.
     Amidst deeds so heartless
     passersby watch stars appear
     while cursing the darkness.
  
Citizens forget themselves
show community
assist as first responders
