Eagles fly
Minds soar
While Eagle flies
soaring off ahead
echoing upriver cries
to where s/he became
back before
Egged on
Eagles fly
Fertile minds soar...

The Lesson of the Chicadee
The Chicadee has found the tube
Of little bird seed, then
She flew away to spread the news
To her flock to feed.
To share her joy with
Her friends in need.
Aap ki awaz
Na Mai mazboor nope it's a dark sky
which cry when you cry and the sadness
of your dreams comes near you like a shadow of love
For giggling and waiting for the smile
of an angel who's doll and pet where
looking amaze for just a gaze of your
Starring by tirchi blink eyes
Jis Mai hai appki awaz.
With love all

Once the “go to guy”
I linger, ever hopeful
Of a need to fill.
Long for the
Tickle
Of long grass
Crackle
of fallen leaves
Scent
of the garden.
I am older
my handle
slightly splintered
my tines
bent
several missing.
Mocked
by motored newcomers
I wait
knowing
there are still times
that situations
will call for
The “go to guy”

Loyal companion
whose racing paws &
booming howl is heard before
she is seen.
A wonderful addition to a family
who’s known loss.
Grayed from the years, you still seem playful and spritely,
albeit a little fluffy.
I wonder if you’d remember me after all this time?
If you’d still excitedly greet me for licks, sniffs, and scratches;
the piece of a broken
relationship I miss the most.
The road to heaven
It seems so long,
Its short, so short
Where time belong
It's curves, it's hills
And it's potholes, too,
Beat and bruise
As I stumble through
Tramplin' the dirt
And nearly dyin',
Finding my feet
And still I'm tryin'
Cryin' out for help
'Til I am hoarse,
Beaten paths do open
But, I stay the course
Just take it slow
Come rain, come shine,
The road to heaven
The way is mine.

We have a laugh, and drink a beer,
Play some golf, and hunt for deer.
Your patience and wisdom, is without test,
Your confidence and clarity, is at its best.
Mentor and Dad, is what you are,
Saved and glad, your faith will go far.
I’m thankful and blessed, with a father like you,
Proud at its best, for the little things that you do.
Love and care, are words that I say,
Friendship to share, on Happy Father’s Day!

Love,
where is she? where is she? asked the emperor
the lady with the candle must not be found...
do you think the captain of this ship is blind?
the anchored ship must not be caught...
the baby in the cradle starts to sob
but no one near must be found...
the red cap! the red cap! says the man in white
it is the moment when the lightning must strike...
the red carpet and the fall of crown
she must not be found,lady in light pink gown...
Kitty Katy, bigger than holsteins
Killed a St. Bernard
Pretty Kitty scratched up my blue jeans
Left my legs all scarred.
My big kitty scares the bejabbers
Out of my sorry hide
Such loud thuds of her pitter-patters
The blood-prints of her stride.
What did she kill tonight?
Who did she rend and bite?
What did she eat?
What kind of meat?
When must I stand and fight?
Kitty wrestled an anaconda
Then ate just the head
I took off on my cherry Honda
Scared I'd next be dead.
