Defaulted Leaders
I wish you would’ve told me,
That I was no longer worth your time.
Your back-handed alabaster murmurs
Stroll passed my skeptical exhales
As I greeted you like adults should
But, your whitened pupils
Spoke louder
Than your failed dreams

Two Hawaiians, a Sunset and a Memory
Two Aloha-shirted Hawaiians
of generous girth were strumming
their ukuleles
on a small stage in front of the hotel’s poolside bar
in the late afternoon,
rehearsing for the night’s performance.
It must have been the low...

Like drops of dew on the lotus leaf in sunshine:

And just as suddenly left me and went away.

That Was Then, This Is Now
That was then….
When the tapestry of contentment enveloped
the enthralled expanse exhilarated,

Long ago on some days, yet not so long on others,
I do so recall those days when I was yet a mother.

Born a little boy but raised to a man,
Many obstacles impeded my way,
However, my faith in the Lord leads me to pray.
