Secret Locks
“She knows everything about everyone. That's why her hair is so big. It's full of secrets.”
~ Quote from ‘Mean Girls’ (2004)
Secrets in the locks of love
she knew everything true,
well, sort of,
as true as any gossip could bring.
Plastic rollers, as useless as her friends,
curled from her lips in hateful sprout
and spewed vile comments from her...

Father's DayWhat is a father? One might ask. He is a species that helps the female of that species to produce life of an offspring. And, after that, is supportive in the development of the offspring. This would be a formal definition. However, where the development of the offspring to the female becomes present, the supportive...

Day Break In FloridaA tangle of moss in the new gray dawn—
Palm fronds whisper hush, hush—
Waves shiver on the sand.
The sea sighs like a tired dreamer.
Fiddler crabs scuttle sideways in the hush—
Sideways like folks around here,
Slipping sideways in the hush.
Behind ragged shacks, I stand.
Smoke curls like a question mark.
A rooster crows a single note of gold.
Somebody’s frying fish,...

The Day I Found A Shiny Button At The Beach
A lovely button pops out in the summer sun
pick her up and she will bring you luck
Walks along the beach, a seashell spun
by the silk of the ocean, a little red truck
Coconut sensation a radio pinned upon the ear
the sky is blue, the sea is foaming
Snapshot...

A Day to Appreciate
On a cool, breezy day, the type I find invigorating,
my daily to-do list beckoned me to get started
with my household duties--but these would be left waiting.
That day, efforts at such mundanity would’ve been halfhearted.
I dressed in an old frayed flannel shirt and jogging pants.
Water, pen, and pad in hand, I started down a familiar...

The Last Day of Spring
Sping is where it all begins
Before the universe came on the scene
Then shortly the summer appears
And drive out all the fear
The mornings were fresh and clean
And clean air from far and near
Floats gentle on the stream
And the ingredients from the sun
Soaked my flesh with its heavenly breath
And the pipes of sorrow quickly fade away
And...

UnheardThere is music in the silence, in the rest of unheard notes. That is where I hold my breath. Where the universe spins out its code for me to read. I watch as the unfallen sky reveals her mystery. Language unfolds in choreography, dancing between each blink of intention.
But I have questions
If time...

Wrung Betwixt the Sky and Sea
Blue on blue
a sandwich
of the sky and sea
clutching on
jealously
to the distant horizon.
They both join hands,
laugh,
and emit their
features,
creatures and apparitions.
Streaming towards you
like they're on
washing machine wringer rollers,
one spinning out and up
the other,
spinning out and down,
painting the scene
blue on blue,
silk-screened.
Seagulls soar.
Flying fish leap.
Dolphins hobby-horse.
Fishes flip, flop and swim.
Clouds billow and wallow along.
Waves rush...

lethargy engulfs us like a disease
how long will we choose to live in bondage
when will we begin to flow like the breeze...

As each day passes, I see the promise made by Christ being fulfilledAs each day passes, I see the promise made by Christ being fulfilled,
in a world where the tumultuous days of the end of history seem to be shortened
for the sake of the chosen, for if He did not intervene, no one would remain
unharmed by the decay of the empire of darkness spreading everywhere.
Madness sets in,...

By the squeaky old gate that tomorrow will find
Why do we call the good old days,
good?
Grandma was always talking,
talking about the days that had passed.
I wonder if they were really that good,
or does our mind play a trick on us?
Grandma loved sitting on her porch,
looking out over her land in her rocking chair.
Now the old rustic white fence,
is falling down...
