At the grave side
Always a moment for
deep reflection
About life and its fleeting
nature
We are reminded that life
is but a breath
We are a breath short before
we join the dead.
The grave though silent, yet
speaks volumes
It tells the story of a life once
lived
Love once shared and legacies
left.
Questions coming to the fore
Am l living or existing
Am I leaving a legacy
Am I loving enough and
Am i giving enough
Thoughts at the grave side.

I love walking in the rain
Because no one sees my tears
The drops mask my pain
And wash away my fears
The thunder drowns out my sobs
As lightning lights my way
I find comfort in the drops
That fall upon my face
No longer do I have to hide
My sorrow from the world
The rain becomes my guide
And my tears are unfurled
I know that I'm not alone
As the storm rages on
Nature heals my broken soul
And I feel like I belong
So let the rain keep falling down
And let my tears flow free
In this moment I have found
The peace that eludes me
Old Persian expedition of eight ships
Eight hundred soldiers on board with whips
Traveled and vanquished Aksumites of good gesture
People of worship, peace and humane nature
Aksum of ivory and gold
Many stories, forgotten and untold
Ripped of faith, freedom and sold
Queen of beauty blazed houses of the laity and cold
Forty years all devouts left defenseless and bleak
On the frail grounds under scorching sunny peak
Yet stones of faith stood tall over the weak
Images of the Cross on coins, strong faith
of the banished people speak
Cairns of unnamed heroes and heroines of faith
Christians of unity, subjects of the saith
Above all afflictions and tribulations from the cursed breath
Bright lights dwell on good, strong souls
chained by shadowed wraith
Feathered candy in the sky
amidst the trees
melodies tickling silver leaves.
upon the breeze
a taxidermist dream
A man of artistic nature
swept homeward heaven's way
a poet whose life on earth is done
now setting stage in heaven's domain.
Rest in peace fellow poet John Heck
Oh, the wretched grief father, it haunts me each day,
I think of you in moments so you are always in my heart;
father, you were a simple man but a very great man,
you never hurt another human being and were kind to all.
Teaching me many things along our journey, of nature and life,
things like to do my very best always- to never burn my bridges;
that, to back down in a fight is not weakness- but a strength,
and that life is like chapters in a book . . .

I dream in tornado,
gray spinning
blade of pulsing
mother
fn
pain
Tears of Joy
God cried today; His tears fertilized
Mother Earth’s womb;
The fragrance of nature saturated the air.
Tomorrow I will cry upon your grave
Laughing tears
Falling from pregnant memories:
Pregnant memories
Washing away grief’s gloom
Watering love
And the happiness of peace we shared.
for Sam
We take turns stabbing
with our shovel at rocky clay dirt
until the cut's deep
enough for what little remains
of our family dog.
Warm wet salt drops--
on my tongue as
I sip wine from a fragile glass
Stare through to hawks
swimming in October winds
circling hills full of Diablo
full of still,
old oaks--
small,
petrified, bony.
