He rode upon a matted mule , his face was burnt and brown,
The corks that hung from his bushman's hat persuaded flies to keep away,

“Daddy, where’d I come from?” in your cute and charming way

WE WILL WALK OUR RAINS

Welcome the falling rain with a rainbow smile
dripping onto our face rippling even the sea.
Flowers and bushes mottled wet along the aisle

A face that you see everyday
That same reflection that you curse in various ways
Punished for hard living
Praised for innocent givings

White roses, clear caskets, and black...

Cognizant that adjacent to an oasis of joy, lies a desert brooding strife;
Assume charge of your chosen path, obey rules of road as you ride,
Pursuing...

And love was asked to run, walk, but not fly
And it task to trust that which we could not see,
But only sense and feel
And dance without music, 
And against the...

With plenty of siblings to fill a happy home.
My memories tend to be more solitary,
As I grew with others, yet was often alone.

For a mother that occurred in my life

Detours, traffic woes~ impediments to goal,
Perturbing in hindrances that endlessly groan 
Searching exit ramp to soothe anguished soul.

A lover so devoted,
A lover so besotted!
From adolescence to being a man,
He grew to be as passionate as he can!
Blossomed in the learning years,
Moonstruck he followed,
She flew to chase her dream dear;
Heartache he swallowed!

Everyday, with all my heart, I thank God* jubilantly…
for His uncountable endowments:

breath of life--- 
especially the enjoyment of free oxygen
verily costly in the infirmary’s intensive care unit;

strength to accomplish goals---
despite challenges hurdled
against toils’ stress and...

laughing carelessly as the ski boat is 
readied for a splash in the nearby lake.
Spinning reels whizz as they are hurled
into thick underbrush at water’s edge,
trying for the big bass...

Song of romance fervent hearts heard
In tenor we knew, rhythms that woo,

As tunes of warmth birds sing...

Silent eyes stare,
Jaws stretch down,
Lips hanging,
Air stalls,...

Beckoned or heralded you climb above a beaming ray, 

Bristles of your hair shall glow and many are perverse....

The subject was finally far from ambivalence
The enigmatic answer hurdled through to find the way,
Thereby, making their togetherness more than a “they”.
“She” gladly wished and thanked the promise...

thoughts tend to conjure up in spare moments
odd happenings such as this one
the water inside each one of us
has been separated to reach out and swim on figures
and trickle...
