with still life a reputation won
With brother-in-lw James Pryde

My friend, my soup buddy, my W.W.
He called me Little Wing and I would sign L.W.
I just now heard of this great mans passing
His talent shall never be heard again
I will miss him more then anyone could understand
He was my W.W.
We will meet again one day W.W.
Singing off
L.W.

"When You Are Ready" – A Triolet
"You must wait for happier days,
They will come when you are ready."
Is that just a meaningless phrase?
"You must wait for happier days."
Trapped in an eerie monstrous maze
I have to keep my mind steady!
"You must wait for happier days
They will come when you are ready!"

"Snow is Falling" – A Cinquain
Peaceful
Snow is falling
All thoughts covered in white
I like the silence in my head
Quiet

"Search For Light" – A Minute
To find a little bit of light;
Like a small kite,
Needs wind outside,
To careful glide.
The wind outdoors just blows and blows;
I'm in the shadows.
Searching for aid,
Can't leave the shade.
Concentrated, I read all day,
To find my way.
From words lifted,
Slowly shifted.

stalking the heavens
like a curse she arrives,
rolling in silent in flashes
at first, leaping across the
stratosphere, gathering speed,
finding her voice; lashing out!
violently, with vengeance on her
mind! the rain will soon follow
in torrents of weeping angels,
that have gathered in protest,
Mother Nature doesn't care.

millions of faces
pass me by
like soft white
milken ghost
aimlessly they wander
in gypsy vagabond night
so enslaved
lost in
the mad parade of
society
just working in this
rhetorical pantomime
to pay debts of mortgage
rent or fancy attire
gold infused chariots that are
just destine to rust
and mansions that are
destine to rot
and this flesh turning to dust
into this insane
karmic
merry go round
here we go

What a wonderful thing He's done
New life in me's begun
God sent His only Son
What a wonderful thing He's done.
He sent him now I am free
New life lives in me
What a wonderful thing He's done
Done to me.
Now is the time to rejoice
Lift up your hands and your voice
What a wonderful thing He's done
New life has begun.
