Wicker chairs and potted plants, stand firmly against its force
Finely tuned chimes sound loudly, sending sweetly toned notes into the night

A Theme of Love

a tone unrecognized
Queit and gentle sounds

Half-a-reflection beams within
The wild bird that you are

Oh

Do it in a better way...

Then of what would we complain?
There’d be endless founts of riches
And no one would be in pain.
All our nervous tics and twitches,
Since they all would be in va...

A Sailor's Prayer

in bounds of reality

truth becoming pliable
judgments unreliable
when the working of our brain
leads toward being less sane
few usually agree
