FACE TO FACE WITH A RACCOON

We have five feeders hanging on our porch…for the birds who frequent there
(and the occasional squirrels…who have no idea what it means to share.)

During the day while sitting on the porch..we love to watch birds come and go.
So many of these birds are regulars…ones we’ve come to know.

We bring these feeders in once the sun

Some Times You Come Face To face with Your Self

There are hours the mirror does not lie,
And silence rings louder than bells in the sky.
A whisper comes from the shadowed wall—
“Remember?”—and you do. You recall it all.

The smile you gave too late to save,
The rose that wilted on a borrowed grave.
Your name still floats in someone’s sigh—
You left, and never said goodbye.

Your hands are

Face To Face

The quietness brings you back, and you remember the words that I say,
The same faith you had to move on to confront the heartache and pain,
The words unspoken that held you in bondage that tried to steal your worth,
I released to put your heart back in place to be seen and not just heard,
The moment

Face to Face with Time

I came face to face with time
It was all sublime.
Nothing was as it seemed
For I thought “surely it must have been dreamed.”
I was shown the past, present, and future.
Then I heard the words, “are you ready for an adventure?”
As I stood there looking into the face of time
I heard bells begin to chime.
He spoke, “What

Face To Face

Wild words fly about,
your arms are caught in tremors;
We are a mirror
radiating frustration,
mulberry cheeks start to flash;

Two are too crazy
to stop and see what is true;
Heartbeats heat up quick
empty of understanding;
A blowup of slang fireworks;

Friends come together
filled with such potent faith;
Gently aggressive,
this most tender touch of trust;
Face to face no matter what.

Face To Face

We live in a technological time
where magic is more plausible than not.
All is possible in this paradigm:
including self-expression and free thought.

We've traveled to the bottom of the sea
and stepped upon the surface of the moon.
Now, we can pick ripe apples off a tree;
and ship them overseas that afternoon.

Today, we text or talk to anyone
instantly, by

Face To Face

Face to face 
Look into your eyes
Tell you that I love you
I'll wear no disguise 

Lie down next to me
My fingers through your hair
Caresses on your skin
Secrets that we'll share

Of how much we want more
Unencumbered bliss
Trace each other's bodies 
Sharing of a kiss

Loving one another
Vulnerable, shown
Concerned about the other
No longer me alone

Carefully I'll handle
Your heart,

Face To Face With a Mirror

In the mirror an insight ...nothing concrete but nothing further true... !

Face To Face With Life

Around the corner 
from where I live alone, 
in an unfurnished studio apartment, 
there’s a shabby restaurant where
I often sit nursing a cup of coffee.

I asked Life one day, “Why me?”
Sitting across from her and
looking directly into her eyes,
“Why did you come to be with me?
I never wanted this. Now I’m distraught,
You have given me

Face To Face With the Sign

I walked into the McGinty Funeral Home
and saw this enormous sign
“This funeral is by invitation only”.
I stared at it. 

Should I go in?
I know I was not invited.
No one was around.
Who to ask?

The worst they could do is ask me to leave.
I was her friend.
I squared my shoulders and walked through the curtain.
Her family was

Face To Face

We always start across the room
Yet end up side by side.
I'd tell myself you're like the rest,
But then I'd have to lie.

Oftentimes I wonder: why you?--
Still young, finding your place.
But maybe, like a mirror, through you
I see myself face to face.

Today, mid conversation,
I saw it in your eyes--
A shift so subtle and so plain,
Like lifting

Face To Face

Face to face
With His G R A C E

He shines so bright
With love to excite

A guiding light
In the dark of night

Face To Face With Hangmen

First, a phone that insistently rang,
Soon, a voice that croakily sang,
Then, a door that did as insistently bang
And a steely chain that knew how to clang…

Next, a calmly approaching unsmiling gang,
Face to face with him, they should hang
And relaxed the bastard watch against the pangs
From their boa-constrictor-mimicking ropes with cobra’s fangs…

And it was to be

Face To Face

He talks to me
Through words and deeds
In small ideas
With a sense of peace

He talks to me
As a twinkle in the eye
A breath of hope
Found in a happy smile

He talks to me
Through the sunshine
The pitter patter of rain
In the thunder’s roar

He talks to me
On the soft, gentle wind
In the echo of the sea
Through the flicker of

Face To Face With Witch Ladra's Closet

Witch Ladra stuplified some but she petrified me.
Luring me in with green molasses candy.
Locked me in a cupboard, threw away the key.
My only friend, her pet monkey named Three.

Three told me stories of Ladra’s family tree.
I shared my candy and he gave me brandy.
They’d apparently came from the China Sea.
Bringing along a dead man’s bandaged
