Once upon a time, mother was gifted new life.
Reformed, reborn the second child to poverty,

it is a series of unfinished to do lists lost on the floor

Bleak and dark, no up or down
In your head, round and round
Memories from long ago 
That got stuck in and wildly grow

Do you remember when you were three?
You thought your mind was yours and free

To her, their apartment was the whole world—a small but cozy place where she felt safe and loved.

It was early morning. She heard her sister squeal with joy hearing that schools would be closed today...

I sat outside at end of day and watched the night close in.
A year had come; a year had gone, since death came for my friend.
The sadness so well known by now crept softly to...

Aloha Weeps 

Aloha weeps
In waves of grief
Pounding on a windswept beach
To grieve the loss of gracious footsteps
That gently walked upon its sand
Where the waves that tickled her heart
Now carry a plumeria lei
Beyond the horizon.

Pele mourns

There may have been some pink or red…but mostly loneliness and black…

Adult playland

Time stands still in
a magical land

you, just take my
hand

No children can come

A place to relax a
far away home

There are trees
filled with fruits
and nuts

All is well
Cocooned within.
Just the steady beat,beat,beat
And gentle familiar sounds.
Comforting,warm,so safe.
Unease-noise-confusion.
(Pushing,pushing)
Panic,unfamiliar,
What is happening?
(Pushing,pushing)
The beat now throbbing,pounding.
Faster,faster
And comes-the light, the light.
So this is LIFE!

(Blue skies,sunshine)
A child's laughter,
A mother's arms
And a loved one's kiss.
This is life.
Celebration, happiness.

The hi-ways and the bi-ways long before the Super-way,
Driving 'round the country different, here are memories of the day

The roads were mostly two lane, speeds were fast at fifty-five.

Sweet butterscotch dew dimples on the lips of daffodils
In flourishing fields fondled by four leaf clover
Each scant spikelet of small white blooms playfully pleasure
Rejoicing with fragrance within this meadow of elation

Full throated birdsongs from summer...

Who promised you life would be easy?
Who whispered this excuse?
How can pain be an addition to the life experience?
Answers provided are inadequate to the task.
Who will sit with you and hold you in the unknown?
