Halo and Heart
She stirred the pasta with one hand,
red pen in the other,
marking fragments of thought while her own scattered across the stovetop.
The dog barked. The toddler cried.
She whispered encouragement to both.
Later, long past the hour of rest,
she sat beneath the glow of a weary lamp,
rewriting tomorrow’s plan to fit admin’s

Soft Hush of Nature's Halo Curves
ocean waves drift in
wildflowers bend in soft winds—
with gentle curves
soothing calm natural minds
without demands or burdens
curves of rivers' arcs
fractals etched in snowflake veins
caress weary eyes
while urban straight lines shatter—
reflection splinters apart
concrete towers thrust
the geometry of squares
clawing at the sky
every sharp angle pierces—
minds that shrink from the hardness
billboards blast their glare
sirens rip through noisy streets
ravaging the

I Dwell In Halo Clouds
I choose to dwell in frothy clouds…
with a mindset unfixed
Random instincts spaced out
In the cumulus mix
An expansive effusion
Far out and beyond my temporal shackles
Free are my thoughts without prompt
Closed minds shallow and
desolate debacles
dissipate in this airy romp
On wispy clouds I dwell in…
high above I’ve risen
Here no need to reason
nor the blends

Lead Don't Follow
In Gods shadow, Mr. President!
Just lead! No second guessing,
follow the Nation heart, it’s We the people!
Stay our course, set our goals and execute.
Endure adversity, it’s our strength,
that sets you apart.
Lead ahead, do not follow.
Stay out in front, out of the shadows,
don’t follow.
Your first steps, you must listen,
always follow what’s right!
Regenerate the Country roots,
grow

The Best Me
I want to be fuchsia free of
Indigo inhibition
Not so much that I silver sin
But that I am emerald easygoing
I want to walk whimsically
Like purple peacocks along
My destined path and lavender laugh
To have hazel happiness
I want to be such a sandy soul
That others sink into my peace
And ruby receive

Moon's Halo
soft the moon robed in yellow
loft of clouds...her home's halo--
nights sift the hues pale to bright
while fist of ray gleams on lune's flight:
come, fast...gaze at moon's wonder
her fest , time's glory anywhere!

Halo
Before I am reposed at last, weave me a crown of flowers
So for when I pass death's threshold, I might carry life
For the rotting halo I wear might turn me into an angel
And my decomposing body to have a companion

Streets of Solitude not for contest
Being alone is an amethyst art
Gift to the soul searching dark
Mahogany moments
Shaping reality despite chaos or peace
Pearl perception of reality red from
blood of dead dreams
that will rise like a purple phoenix
inside blue breast
Walking in spirit with ancient ancestors
yet alone in the Streets of solitude
Fire in eyes
forgiving the lies
of

Just Like A Halo
Just like a halo on Horizon's edge,
the sky of gold unveils an orange glow
as though Almighty God stands on that ledge,
just like a halo on Horizon's edge
to shine His blessings gifted by His pledge,
while wind-blown grass and cattails stand below.
Just like a halo on Horizon's edge-
the sky of gold unveils an orange glow.
Just like a

Halo of Happiness
To those who seek instant gratification -
I am a process, not a destination.
Happiness.
We attempt to crack its code, however,
It remains a lifetime long endeavour.
Deeply desired, wondrous state of mind -
Its fleeting facile feeling redefined.
Teasing and taunting us with verve and grace,
Happiness’ touted appeal won’t erase.
It

To everything there is a season
The moonbroch is quite pronounced tonight—rain can’t be far off. It will be good for the vegetable garden and save my back from having to cart water for a few days. Not too much rain, though, as the skins of the tomatoes would split; they are about to be harvested ...
