The light
Shining inside
Vibrant as the sunshine
Beckoning to souls with sweet grace
Falling across the seas
In gentle songs
Of praise

Laughter
Breaking through rain
In cloudless moments, joy
Breathes soundlessly through the passions
Of lingering hopes, dreams
Rousing heartbeats
Pulsing

The light
Touches the soul
With butterfly kisses
Whispered...

Why root
for underdogs?
Easy. They just don't quit;
odds against them, tremendous, yet...
these tough Rocky Balboas 
of the world fight 
to win.

Why root
for underdogs?
We see ourselves in them.
When they taste victory, we win.
Their survival instinct
is a treat...

We learn
right from wrong by
the zenith of our youth
but do we learn moral lessons
in the exact way, and
do some learn them
at all?

We show
distaste toward
those whose definitions
of morality might very
well differ from what we
figure to be
correct.

We...

Believe
all accusers,
because no one sets out
to intentionally damage
someone's reputation;
assume they're
truthful.

Believe
all accusers.
We must rally around
victims brave enough to speak out
against sexual assault;
any kind of...
abuse.

Believe
all accusers,
no matter the gender.
Really? Guys, too? Oh yes, guys, too.
Any breathing human;

Curling 
around the house,
the breeze was unfurling,
moving dead leaves in its twirling
fingers, apparently
satisfied with

The dance
lured the lovers
to come out and romance
under the willow's shadowed trance,
soft whispers of the breeze
inspired their love's
warm glance

Clock is

It lives every moment.
Doesn't waste even a second.
Live each second like clock,
enjoying each

Mind at the task in front.
While at work emulate the clock.
Employ all sense organs,
enjoy moment

Silence 
primordial 
deep outer space endless
ingrained in pristine nothingness
embraced infinity
with creator’s veiled
essence.

Silence
cosmic cadence
wrapped in tranquility
as God’s particles accreted
forming the universe 
time seeded in
stillness.

Silence 
soaked serenely
the wave surge of big bang
making music of creation

Father,
your back is turned,
immersed in work deadlines.
Briefcase journeys take you away,
paper trails proceeding
to lead further
from home.

Father,
this picture hangs,
secured by two magnets:
your hand in mine, showing me life.
Cocooned caterpillar
learns to fly, but
returns.

Father,

Two steps
forward, three steps
back. That's the way it seems
life goes sometimes, barely moving
forward at a snail's pace.
Perseverance
is key.

Life is
worth the living,
though hardships may beset.
Nothing worthwhile will be easy.
Sometimes you have to fight.
Perseverance
is key.

A Patch of Blue Embraced

Sunlight
Freckles sidewalks
Summer shimmer light points
Golden yellow sunbeam slices
Leap in celebration
Embrace a patch
Of blue

Raindrops
Speckle rooftops
Umbrellas dot the gloom
Puddles dance in bright staccatos
Trees bow down to rainbows
To find a patch
Of blue

Fog’s breath
Camouflages

Moon wants
to shed his bright
light on the dark world but 
selfish, lustful clouds come, blanket
moon fully. Moon escapes
from their clutches
and smiles 

But this
freedom is short.
Soon another set of 
clouds come and blanket him again.
Moon frees...

Goodness
Doing right things
Opportunity knocks
Sometimes when we least expect it
For one’s better angels
Allowing ways
To shine.

Virtue
A welcome trait
For high-minded living
Example for those we know who
Disregard their morals
Skirt the edges
Often.

Ethics
Will cultivate
An exemplary life
Of lasting proper behaviors
If conscientiously
Better living
Applied.

A smile
or polite nod
can make anyone feel
good regardless of their status,
from street hustlers
to beggars, they're human
like you.

Daughters

mothers, sons, and fathers,
they've all become dispensable, 
society
doesn't care if they live
or die.
