It was just one of those splendid days, which held no excitement;
Moreover it required none, for in its stillness, I was content.

On the edge of the leaf, spinning,
Out of control, glistening
Slowly dancing – a waltzlike trembling,

lakes of melancholic, drifting
soundless and soothed by the twisting,...

leaving puddles of glimmering pools on the darkened floor

through the moonlit...

It happened on a Monday.
Thoughts, drifting
From one moment to the next,
Reassured by the kiss of a past,
Buried by the last chance,

Without the silence seeking peace,
Seeking a hope, a prayer,...

Paul had a near-death experience,
one of the most incredible ones...
he visited Heaven: the place of bliss!
And as he climbed the gold stairway,
he heard many familiar voices he had
known in the previous life...they happily

It isn't you, she said
It's me 
And set her fabrication free.  
Revealed that covert expertise
In jubilant solemnity
In the art of feigned, half-flattery.
And yet I look on powerless
still dumbstruck by her vanity
Awestruck by her deftly...

Love demands our undivided attention, and nags at our souls until it gets its way
Love is the antagonist of...

In the morning’s gentle sun
Reflecting dewdrops on petals, blooms
Erasing darkness with such beauty
Growing hope that lasts eternally

In the kiss of a soothing rain
Falling quietly, relieving the thirsty
Nourishing the parched earth
With whispers of delicious liquid
Pouring out...

Then the tale I write be true
And if found false beyond reasonable dought

Worry sometimes silences
The dreams that I have dreamed
Darkening the hope for joy
Smothering out the laughter
Quieting the love that inspires
My heart to give, to believe
To live with assurance of Him
Who brings me a measure of peace

Fate Delivers Its Promised Bitter Cup

He sat shackled, days and nights now a daze,
Doom and gloom, now spoke in whispered tones.
Once dashing, ladies in a swooning craze
Each day he became more a wasted bone
