steel gate shuts
cold lock clicks
the stone wall holds firm
my path will not lead to you
the old gate is left behind
these strong walls keep the old noise from entering
my eyes turn towards the wall that meets the dawn
a wide archway opens on the far side of the wall
no one owns the open country road where the future remains unclaimed
I will never say never to the daylight waiting on the far horizon
Shakespearean Sonnet
The waves still roll and crash upon the shore,
and trees grow old and tumble to the ground
~ forever means the same just like before,
except that now...it circles all around.
The memories of years are joined as one
and always is a promise never made,
as fate will follow everywhere we run
to mix within the silence it invades.
So fickle is the future as it holds
the secrets of our lives already known;
within the heart of truths that it enfolds
where hidden seeds of absolutes are grown.
But ~ what of waves and trees we've never seen?
Could they still be just always as they've been...
(Mom ~ April 1930 - August 2026)
My heart, though silent, beats steadier, then
Love is written in this gentle voice
Cool winds, playing softly, a moment, when
Gentle thoughts offer no other choice
Singing a chorus of love that believes
My spirit soars to new heights, I can see
Beyond the music of the tree who grieves
Sweetest song, so rich and brave, wind can free
Secured by faith, the joy of love shines bright
Sweetest tones of hope drift over my life
While notes of peace rise from the sunny light
I feel the sway of music that heals worst strife
Thrown about by the dreadful winds of change
Like a leaf in the woods, whose fate feels strange
When Fragile Blossoms Fall,
Gentle winds stir the leaves and summer calls
Now, when morning dew settles on the lawn.
We meet again, when fragile blossoms fall,
From this; a promise of a future drawn.
On your return, hope in new seasons cast
When the blackbird’s song breaks the silent dawn
And the long winter of your absence passed,
From your loss, this new summer’s promise born.
If your stay be shorter than a winter’s day,
And the slow passing hours no comfort give,
Leave, let me in memory’s cavern’s stay
And forlorn hope in deep labyrinths live.
Stay; let old fading memory depart,
Let bright hope then in future seasons start.

Without hope, I wonder where we all would be
No vision for a forward move to see.
Instead, a place where we would not be free
Stuck in a dead time zone- would you agree?
With hope our future we can guarantee
By planning how we move along carefree.
A world where hope is unlocked by a key
Where all our dreams become reality.
Because within our minds we then foresee
With hope there always is a real maybe.
For hope can also aid recovery
Indeed, it brings us possibility.
Hope for a life of happy memories
And when we reach our final destiny
Hope we all leave a lasting legacy
That made a difference to humanity.
The silent sands in glass glide down,
A demure drip, without a frown.
Each grain a moment, soft and fine
In life`s pages, a gift divine.
They buzz tales of days that slipped by,
Of joys that bloomed, then flew to sky;
The present trickles like a stream,
Reflecting the soul`s fleeting dream.
In the un-spilled part of the sand
We eye the future that still stands,
A heap of hope, a silent plea
To cherish all that comes to be.
The world keeps whirling, time evolve,
Bits by bits, our muscles dissolve,
The hourglass mirrors our short stay,
Reminds us, life won't ever sway.
So, while blood still runs through our veins
Let us use our hands and our brains,
The world, a better place to build,
From rains and woeful winds to shield.
A new dawn is rising
Out over the rim
Of the hole of hell
From earth’s darkness within
Circling up from a well
Dug into the black mound
On the hill in the valley
In the shady earth of ground.
Carrying along with it,
The colours of French poetry
In its own re-blooming renaissance
Warmed by the sun’s rays
Forcing through the obstacle of leaves
And watered by rain floating in on clouds
Coming in from the sea on breezes
Of hope to a refuge of coming justice and peace
Their feet still fly
arms raised to the sky
Their hearts still yearn
the fire yet burns
Their hopes still soar
as in days of yore
They'll soon storm the world
their passions unfurled
Old folks say their generation’s doomed
values upside down, introspective gloom
Throwing storied traditions to hell
(Perhaps that rings a bell) …
Dear friend, before you hang yourself in utter despair
Gaze in the rear-view mirror ~ See you and me there?
Dine with me beneath the stars
We’ll plate imagination and share what’s ours
Let’s consume delightful hope
And eat dessert where plans and the future elope
Sip the quiet moments slow with me
Where time forgets any urgency
Let laughter be the wine we pour
And let tomorrow knock without a door
Together feasting on wishes half-formed
We warm our hands where dreams are born
Inviting the universe to lean in close
As if it knows the path we chose
Right here beneath an endless sky
We trade the world for you and I
Hope is the course and stars are the seal
Our love is something no storm can steal
Wipe that frown from your face
Trust in what the future has in store
You never know what's around the corner

I wish I could fix your problems.
I’d wave my magic wand.
I’d gladly make your aches all disappear.
There is no easy answer.
No sunshine pill to dissipate the darkness.
The responsibility is fully in your hands.
You have to own and fix this.
You were careless even negligent.
Learn your lesson and see it through.
Man up and take charge.
You have to make this right again.
New year new cycle and new chapter.
Muster up every ounce of your energy.
Make us and yourself proud.

My hope for the year 2026
is for me to heal and try to fix
my waves of grief and stabs of pain
that flatten me daily and keep me from gain
in my faith, future, and doing well at my job
I feel like I am running in place and feel like a glob
of struggle, grief, no concentration, and lots of reaction
to small things that turn into a huge distraction
from what I am trying to accomplish and find
which is peace in my soul, heart, and mind
Each thought and action has a consequence,
it's energy sent into the universe
that attracts more of the same.
Wouldn't it be fabulous if everyone generated
positive energy that was loving and
conducive to building a better society?
Have we not had enough of bickering
and toxic fighting amongst ourselves
that lead to chaos, war and endless devastation?
Create the peace you want to see around you
by nurturing thoughts of harmony and acts of kindness
~ and one day the world will become a better place.
