The Raven and the Bard
-Daniel Henry Rodgers

The Raven's quill drips shades of blackest night,
Its haunting words, a melody of fright.

Shed history's warm light to chase away all care...

Herstory from Battlefields to Laboratories
-	Daniel Henry Rodgers

Beneath stardust's scattered gleam, 
Her-story, a comet’s tail, blazing across time.

Through seasons it molds
...Once hushed now bold
We rise like a chorus harmonizing 
...In this vast of an eternal fold.

For...

*HE HEALS THE BROKEN HEARTED-

For the first time, we’ve been heartbroken;
In those tumult times we’ve miss spoken;
God heals the brokenhearted He has the power; 
God does to mend emotional pain and suffering, trauma;

 Our Father...

For My Children
-	Daniel Henry Rodgers

As dawn's first blush ignites the eastern sky—a cool
Caress of dew upon the breeze—and the birds' serenade
Pierces the silence, their notes ascending high.

The mist, like a spectral ballet, pirouettes, twirling
In the...

The first thing I remember hearing 
Was a car radio with a country song playing
A man singing while my mom was steering 
A song about heartache and pain
That’s the day the good boy in me...

Iconic performances from idols past
Still going strong as they sing all night long
Never dreaming...

It started as a mental exercise. 
I wondered if an East-Side Jew...

Because of You
by Daniel Henry Rodgers

Because of you-
My heart has found its way...

At Messiah's halls
in a youthful haze,
by a bridge made of
locust and oak
Our hearts were
entwined in
love and grace.

Your blossoming faith illuminated
paths I never knew.

"Picasso Blues"



Blue Sky
met
Blue Feather 
on a 
Blue Day
Collaborating
a slow dance
across the 
lost dance floor

hidden
keys to truth
ignoring  
a thousand
poker playing
game changing
whispers blinking
in the dark room
poetically 
seduced 
immersed in
mirrors 
shades...
