Morning Encounter
I know you have
been waiting to show me
the glittering glaze of sunlight
caught in your stillness,
the reflected trees on the far bank
mirrored perfectly and something
surfacing from out of the depths
sending ripples across the morning
to gently lap against
my waking mind.
And I don't even know
your name.

ENCOUNTER WITH GENERAL GEORGE WASHINGTON
War is endless
The Winters harsh
Soldiers are dying
Food and Water scarcity
How much longer are the Solders to bare
Freedom and opposition take time and endurance
The Solders are embattled in their own physical survival
Tears pour in how long?
All for war that will not get any better
One by one the Solders are falling
Like Ten Little Indians and there

Close Encounter
I had a close encounter
Just this morning, on my walk,
When a bird of prey came swooping down -
A falcon or a hawk.
Either way, it flew right at me;
I saw feathers and a face
And it could have quickly grabbed my hat
And left without a trace.
Instead, it made it to a branch
And sat and looked around,
While

Fella Meatus
Disturbed by the interruptions
He would be disrupted by my
Skill
Thrill of collaboration
When ones partners are
Determined and real
In that self satisfaction
If achieving a goal
What's in it for me
Ain't gonna work cause
We are not in control
Tallow shall disguise the
Earthy taste of the ostrich
and garlic and onions
Shall compliment it's already
beefy taste
the mushrooms and wines shall
Subdue the

One Real Encounter And You'll Never Forget
Smile world things will be okay.
God is everywhere, everyday.
Set aside for Him a special time.
To focus on Him only with your mind.
Imagine Him there within your room.
Awareness of his presence should begin soon.
Raise your arms upward like a little child.
Wanting Daddy to hold you for a while.
When His presence moves close you'll know.
For me rivers

A Close Encounter
Self-awareness on a pedestal,
stalled by a stormy day,
placed there by providence
—by poet
A Close Encounter
car window reflected a close encounter.
iridescent feathers folded; downpour.
in blue cape, he hides his eyes, blue-green.
we squeak past the blue trash can, he’s atop.
so close, my husband doesn’t see him there,
but the passenger, me, “Look a peacock!”
was on my way to get

My Children This Is My First Encounter With My God
There is one thing that I will always miss.
It is the first time that I received a heavenly kiss.
I was so down and out, I just wanted to go.
But God determines when, and his reply was No!
"I know the plan that I have for you.
Just trust in Me and I'll see you through!"
A weighty presence

encounter on pier 39
encounter on pier 39
she sat inaudibly alone on pier thirty-nine
watching colorful sail boats go lazily by
i didn’t know her name but she was a friend of mine
and it hurt so badly to see her cry
with my guitar in my left hand and wishes in my right
i approached her quietly, careful not to intrude
the waters were

labs
(a university-life vignette)
It’s Saturday morning at about 9am. I’m in the chemistry lab, a sterile looking room with 12 workstations that are like multi level kitchen islands with sinks and various lab gear. It’s the most fluorescently lit environment on earth and everything looks to be either white, stainless steel or glass.
I’m one of the

Of Patagonia
When you ask about my trip, what will I say?
That the river waters are milky azure, surging from melting glaciers
Glaciers pressing through granite masses
So huge they might be clouds held tightly in valleys of fearful peaks.
I’ll mention a rolling waterfall, not tumbling or churning,
But a smooth turquoise roll without break or boulder to mar its

That Momentary Encounter
fleeting memory of you
one fateful encounter
you are my muse
a solace in that moment
standing across the road
our roads will never cross
you see I'm a "sad amorist"
i will always say, "our stars will never align"
i will paint my knuckles red
just for a glimpse of you
but scared of the thought
you belong to someone else
I'll

Encounter with the Moon
The mad wind has quiet down and the decree has gone out of the town, something miraculous has taken place and I could hear the children screaming and shouting all over the place and the mood is slowly returning to the base.
The fire had burnt everything out of thee and there was nothing to hold

First Encounter
Fierce winds blow across the Atlantic tide,
Colder she gets the rougher she'll ride,
In matt'r minutes a chill to the bone,
Few dare sail her northern zone,
Far north the whaling be done,
Colder in account for the miss'n sun,
The currents below just twist and swell,
Above her frozen by a northenly gale,
Sails drawn, busting through crests,
A captain in hope
