Running to evil,
They use crooked speech,
Deceit in their mouths,
They understand not.

Give birth to lies,
Do not repay,
Dig their own pit,
Shall be cut off.

Spring

Unpredictable
Days of bursting blooms
Rollicking sunshine
Merriment on springs
Glee springs out of ice

Giggling downpours
Laughs at puddles
Shedding winter

Twist and shout
Rock and roll
Raucous child

Ready...
Get set...

SPRING!!!...

Eyes shine in glee,
through angel lips
Hear heaven’s hum!

Evil under the bed,
Bogeyman alive
Child barely three
Hair stands up on arms
Cannot sleep tonight

Calls for mommy
Calls for daddy
Calls more loudly
Someone comes now

Touch, cuddle
Hug, snuggle
Reassured

Sleep comes
Mom’s arms

Safe...

As a child, I dreamed
Of flowing white gowns
Golden hair blowing
Whispers from the wind
And I pictured you.

Tall with blue eyes,
Swirling at night,
Together, we
Danced with moonlight

Strong and...
