Big Sandy: Recollection in the Free State

The hollow remains unphotographed.
Memory, not landscape, frames it—
a road cleaving winter in two,
children laughing while gravity
negotiated its own terms.

Neighbors spoke without flourish.
Their kindness was practical,
never advertised, always assumed.
You could leave your grief
on the porch overnight;
someone would tuck it in
and leave bread beside it

Coal knew every surname
but never asked for praise.
It shaped the valley,
not into

A Version of Me

There is no strength in fear and flame,
naught but the bitterness of blame,
which leads us all to guilt and shame,
finger pointing and naming names.

Better still our hearts to open,
forgive and live with hope and
honest emotion,

and put our heart into motion.

Easier though to give anger it’s head,
to wish

TRY A LITTLE KINDNESS

To make a light and pillowy kindness soufflé,

The Birdman of Alesund

The birds of Alesund descend 
To greet an old and trusted friend, 
An answer to their constant search, 
For food, safety and a welcoming perch, 
The birds of Alesund descend 
To greet an old and trusted friend. 

A Call

Attending school was never an option when the empty drum echoes the song of yearning grains, trekking the lanes with bathroom slippers that awaits a welcoming party in the municipal waste truck while idanuwa na zubar da kwalla.

Christmas Kind Of Love

When the warm nutmeg spirit of generosity
moves you year round,
a Mrs. Claus heart fills your smile.
It's a Christmas kind of love on
any given day,
it has you singing, "Joy to the World,"
with your Yuletide soul soaring 
pool side in the middle of July.
It's a Christmas kind of love
throughout your life. ~

I Am Thankful For

the stars, who remember my wishes
the hearts who’ve quieted my tears
the seas, all their imaginative fishes
the souls who’ve silenced my fears

An Act Of Generosity

I loved the brightness and the warmth
in the long summer days.
I loved the way it made the world shine so freshly
in the snow-bequeathed days

EARTH'S GENEROSITY

May we be blessed to understand something that’s easy to see
It’s about our Mother Earth and her unselfish generosity…

How every day in every moment she’s always offering us more…

each time we look around
She shows us a view that is a little different than the one a moment before.
