Are forever on my lips, rising like the Son’s comforting,
Boiling over, in...

Inviting, like the first breath of spring,
energizing as the summer rain –
brisk like the winds of an autumn dream,
reviving as the sigh of a winter’s first snow…

laughing amid the shadows of starlight stories,
reflecting the gentle...

You think it a lie, seeing that
old man in the mirror: some
imposter taking your name,
living in your house, calling

he had married her 40 years 
ago and not you... what can

As I once again watched hate emerge from a person the other day
this thought occurred to me…
What if the world was suddenly plunged into darkness?
A darkness so thick no-one could see.

And what if this obsidian...

The saddest, maddest children usually find their way to my office.
I am the school counselor.
They arrive on their own, knocking, or just running in.
I always ask if they have permission.
Some do, many do not.
They need...

There is no authority more apropos.
There is no beauty more breathtaking.
There is no concept more compassionate.
There is no dream more dazzling.
There is no evaluation more eternal.

I thought you were different than
All my other so called friends
Who were nice in front of me
But told nasty bad stories
Behind a back that was stabbed
By the lies that always grabbed
Attention from lies so bold

She isn't beautiful as Nefertiti was.

And unlike Helen, 

her face will never launch a thousand ships.

My Maggie's beauty is more open, than entrancing

more welcoming, than enthralling, 

more giving, than demanding, 

more durable, than perfect.

Perfection inspires...

Don't forget the special sounds
you have heard in your life.
Like the whisper of a child
the cooing of your wife

The sound that a bird makes
as it sits outside your panes
The pattering on the roof
of a midsummer's...

People often ask me
Where it is I'm living
The only thing I have to say is
I'm doing more giving than I'm gettin''

Today's the day, or so I tell myself,
That my apathy begins to wane
The day I forget who I've become 
And start my life anew 

Today's the day that I lock my pain away
Garnered by years...

I was less once
The day before I met you
Before I saw myself through your eyes
Before I believed I was worthy of a forever love
A completing love
I didn't know
I didn't understand
That I could love someone
The way...

I believe in God
and in His word
I believe if used
wisely it's an effective
tool for
 recalibrating
 humanity
However, it is not
cut and dry
nor black or white
to me anyway
I evolved 
with my insights
It is not
bound by hell
therefore it
cannot...

I knelt at the river sifting.
Mud, water, rock.
Mud, water, rock.
Mud, water,....
It caught my eye
Woke me from my open-eyed dream.
The glint was possibly just the sun,
Winking from kissing the cold water’s reflection.
I hold my breath give...

A person may not know the happiness,
They bring to others.
A simple action or phrase,
Could be the thing that brightens a day.
My day,
 His day,
Or her day.
What a wonderful day.

The energy a person generates,
Is like the...

Your the biggest suspect of
Silently stealing the love
From my heart right into yours
But you didn't try to force
 Any of your self on me
You did it so quietly
It was slow and innocent
I never knew what...
