Does a broken mirror reflect again? Are we shadowed by our past and sins? Can fallen flowers return to branches? Are our traumas rippling avalanches? Is fate a tightrope we must follow? Can we control our chain of morrows? Is our past a ball and chain we drag? Is it a burden or a flag? What is faith and what is soul? Do...

Oh do, let us dream, Lord, of a peaceful and shining, promising day. To realize the value of poets we know, and incude the ignored or unknown! Refusing the faces of negativity, humbly walking in your ways, shown. Always remind us, please, to go to the light, where thy glory, doth lay! I realize that not all of us...

stroll beneath His oaks, leaves listening to shadows, waltzing with angels dreaming, dancing, death stirring signs of yearning souls, artists of light, songs music bleeds through minds, erasing the distance, roads leading home, through fear laughing, they let go, tunes of faith, feeling, futures in the eyes of night melodies risking bold reasons for healing, hope lifts silence at last ...

Proverbs 16:31 (KJV) The hoary head is a crown of glory, if it be found in the way of righteousness. Our time has come to know the grief, Of losing friends, losing those things – we held onto, The past, the last hopes, the quiet assurance… That our time is still in the present, today, Echoing like silent shadows, abiding… Youth...

A LOOK AT NONSENSE I cannot write a poem today So why should I even try It's snowing outdoors right now And I am not sure just why I don't have the answers To all my questionings But if I try to think it through I might learn a thing or two About life's many ponderings And how they puzzle you I might learn why...

Upon my bare bent boughs, the blossoms itch, ‘Tis the high season when pollen count rises, So much better when I wore not a stitch, Now one's nerve jumps at nasal surprises Humans emerge from their winter abode, In awe of the plush panoramic rush, Foregoing instinctual rambling code, Flora slowly chokes below feet that crush...

Ponderings on my 60 th Birthday! On this my 60 th year I have gained a few new insights that can only come with age and experience. I do find it surreal that 60 years have passed so quickly. The latter years go faster it seems! I remain optimistic that the best is yet to come! I have learned...

I feel blessed living within walking distance of the ocean…it’s as if my life’s enchanted…it is something I shall always cherish and will never take for granted. I don’t quite know how to explain it but the ocean stirs in me feelings loud and strong…she cast a spell on me the first time that I saw...

Easter approaches on tender, Lily-white feet! Most think only of chocolate Easter bunnies, a most delicious treat! Or, of going Easter shopping in lovely, spacious malls. They know not, the significance of what Easter means at all. A man hung on a cross, and died to save humanity. But the move is on to discredit Christ, who died on that...

Solitude is now a trained trait It’s easier than teaching the selfish to cooperate Past the lights of yesterday I see tomorrow fade away Mundane voices talk with ease Explaining why we go to sleep Hieroglyphics carved in walls Lead the way into our stalls Different tones above our skies Give our gods an alibi Friendless souls still stomp around Deciding if they own our...

David Bowie told us, though I haven’t seen it yet It puts it in your mouth when it takes a cigarette * It’s important in the kitchen It can even have a stitch in Most of us are hoping for as much as we can get * Sometimes you have less than you need For it can run out at such...
