A sight to behold, place of all sins ridden,
Where the great rivers give life and churn,
A thousand diamonds and the trees sing
Along with the wind, ruled by the great King.

A pure Hawaiian of rare birth,
living a life somewhat carefree,
fed farm animals by this squirt,

a barefoot country kid, that's me,
a runner on trails made...

He made her, the dream castle.
As lovingly, She delivered to...

Where feelings flood the night with soft and tender
Lights,...

at the maximum load level
a stampede of race cars

Internal Quote by Albert Einstein

  

On the eve of the invasion, the world braced for an upheaval.
Two ancient foes were poised for war, a war between Good and Evil.

Ordained as the "Knight of Love", 
How he came about his name
Is a tale still spoken of;

Who loved a girl called Christine, 
She...

The waters of the great canal through the morning sail.

In spite Venezia was tied, the chairlift was jostling,
Twisting its way through the small calli in haze whiting....

They journeyed through the woods
Over the mountains and hills
The book spoke about them
It said nothing about their adventure 
It said nothing about their sojourn
To retrieve the lost chalice

Mysteriously stolen
Enchanted and bewitched
It had brought calamities

People said she was ugly,
this simple girl of fifteen springs.
At home she didn’t have a mirror, 
because her parents thought

That perturbed him it would no doubt seem, 
His wondrous kingdom was under...

Aloha Weeps 

Aloha weeps
In waves of grief
Pounding on a windswept beach
To grieve the loss of gracious footsteps
That gently walked upon its sand
Where the waves that tickled her heart
Now carry a plumeria lei
Beyond the horizon.

Pele mourns
Her...

Is rain on the way since the sky is gray?
Thunder roars, so yes, it's headed this way.

If lightning bolts spark the sky, will you fear?
That's my reaction when it strikes too near.

I see the hovering...

Welcoming the week with hope, blissfully triumphant
Reminding mankind to worship God* for life jubilant

The mound split opened some centuries ago creating the chasm
Safe enough room for a photo opportunity soon to emerge,
Engine off, I secure my iPhone, lastly, seat belt...

William Bonny AKA Billy The Kid
A Tale Of Billy The Kid
By Robert Gorelick

“Quien esta?”

Bang!  It’s over, 
you’re a legend now, 
Billy.

Born in Hell’s Kitchen in
