Two Short Poems About Death
Estuary
the strong tide greets the sheltered stream
where life's hereafter dares to dream
a place where screeching, circling birds
fall silent to breath’s final words
where memories once formed on land
are carried by the shifting sand
to where the river meets the sea
and on then to eternity.
Aqueduct
where ten arches span time across the Ceiriog Valley
sheep lie in green pastures beneath

Three Short Poems
God's Answer
Living a long life we lose so many we love
It feels unfair left with a heart full of memories
We question God why?
Live on be strong
Your wealth of life continue to share
For when the Good Lord calls you home
Who will be there to welcome you at Heavens Gate
The loved ones you lost before

The Children
Children see the madness
in people just as clear as day.
They don't let lies and deceit get
in the way.
You can smile grin
or turn green or blue. But
the eyes of a child can sees
right through.
You

time and age. But a child's mind
is like

folds into the maple and piney leaves
as curelium takes over high on the hills above
while over the ocean to the west still lies
the misty skies of blue haze
He sat and told me not to read
not NIH or Tumor Insight
or any such journal, he

Three Short Poems About Italy
Capri
roofless cubes, spidery with wire,
cakes of azure and enzian;
above at the Villa San Michele
Rilke smiles down at the broken beaches,
at coves of defiant waves, compacted sea
Pompeii
a chessboard of honest stones
open to a sky of hushed shouts;
we huddle in a boned frame
of another life, a stopped day
Napoli
warm and secret, olive-eyed
an infinite beauty makes a new face
as
