I remember…

Being 3 and crying, screaming
Because my mommy was leaving
For a day at work, … dreaded hours
As loneliness for her fell like black
Rain drenching me in awful rejection

I remember…

Being 6 and climbing out of bed
At...

I left you standing in the woods,
because my conscience said it was for your  very own good.
My lifeless heart tears when I see that look in your eyes, 
the look of sadness which I...

Like Fall…

the lingering of laughter in the air,
like a silent prayer,
painting the moments, so rare
with joy and hope to share,
stirring love, thus – beware…

graceful as the ghost of a sunrise,
on dawn, with clear, blue skies,
there...

“I’m reading your poems, Mama”
She wrote while we were chatting online today
I was thrilled
What could give me more joy
Than to have my 19 year old 
My only child, the light of my life
Read my work?

Then...

“I’m Still Here”




When you see me now,
I’m the same person inside
That I was when I gave birth to you
Oh,  so many years ago.

I don’t hear what you say sometime.
I don’t understand your meanings sometime.
I...

In the gentle embrace of dusk, where the edges of dreams blur,
your shadow whispers secrets to the silence,
and in this stillness, so many things begin to pulse,
a stirring smile from a dream,
captured in the boundless...

Flames of love.


Feeling naked stood here before you,
The first time I tell you how I feel about you.
Been alone so long I don’t know what to do,
But your beauty allows me to say I want...

The splendor of following Jesus
Isn’t that you get everything your way
Because you don’t – somedays are sad
Not every moment is filled with joy
There are times of discouragement,
Anxiety and worry, feelings that wash
Over you with yearnings...

I love You, Jesus
You are my rock, my grace
Salvation from a hell that is darker
Than any night, any doubt, any fear
You saved me, made a way for me
Through the worst shadows, the tears
That come to...

How many times will I wonder?
Why laughter seems to heal?
Why shadows will conceal?
Why light shines to appeal?

How many times will I ponder?
Where do butterflies rest?
Where do tangerine sunsets protest?
Where do stardust moments attest?

How many times...

I see the world around me fueled by negativity
Every ant crawls along, hopelessly addicted to something or another
One ant says to me 
"We're better than the addicts."

I respond.
"You and I are no different."
We're all addicted...

( JUST FOR MY DAD )

You are very special,

Two very similar people, 
And dad that's me and you

How much you mean to me,
Everything...

Windchimes

In my advancing years
Clarity eludes me now and then.
I sit quietly in the gazebo.
Your book and glasses
not yet removed from your seat.
Drifting into sleep
I awaken suddenly.
with confusion reigning again.

I quietly call your name
The need to...
