The Soul never sleeps
battered and lonely, the lesson
Life spent in The Hard Sell
Soft-served you become

no magic wand no miracle solution
I throw you high up in the air

When earth was young, handsome and green
Besides the meadow near the curly winding flow
There stood a tree proudly high and spry.
Swaying and dancing in wheezy pleasy breeze
Never was...

Dark Reflection
...and the Demon spoke,
its voice deep and mellow like smooth satiny chocolate,

Drawing My Own Conclusions
I'd been caught up in the middle, of one of those awful days,
When nothing seems to go right, with glitches and delays.

Are We Too Cold To Look Beyond

She questions still, seeming to her alone
Intones, “Ireland, O Ireland, what are you?
