  narrow-windowed cubicles
   ~ hearts tear in cramped spaces...

To Be Rigid and Firm 

Stonewall should be ridged and firm;
Not allow things to wiggle or squirm;
Did predict,
Will restrict,
Advance of whale which is a sperm.

A fence made out of wood
That stretches far
A flower garden of many colours
With a stonewall as the edging 
By the deck a little pond
With water bubbling once in awhile
Two bird feeders to feed the birds
One small area to feed the squirrels
Three birdhouses for the birds to live
Chipmunks live under the deck
This is the view outside my window
That I see every day...

Let us cross over the river
and rest under the shade of the trees
for surely by not waiting we shall see 
no time gained greater to us than these
Pagodas temples and soft music greet us there
Oh how soft the rain on my face please not mistaken tears 
expression no longer a protest our bones shall not last
Things dropped into the river will and must sink to their rest

Respect to Stonewall Jackson...

If I am a stonewall, YOU are the shim that makes me Whole
YOU are the root the glorious Bloom, I, the thorned stem of a  Rose

If I am the rising Sun, YOU are the Golden warmth around me
YOU are the illumination of Moonlight, I, just the twinkle of a star

If I am the waves of the ocean, YOU are the Loving Life with in
YOU are the Everlasting Love of my Heart, I, Forever Your Liege

sat alone last night
the world was moving all around me, 
but it seemed my life was in a standstill
the doctor said its anxiety disorder
but it is deeper than that
I am a prisoner of your love

I sat long in the night again today
I wondered life without you
and it brought pain to my heart

the pain seemed to run through me
freezing me dead like a stonewall
I heard someone say, 'Be brave and move on'
but I wonder if I can move on
when I am a prisoner of your love...

Rubbed out 

I stopped at a low stonewall
on my slow progress  
saw before me a landscape painting, 
ten sheep and twelve lambs.

I thought who that painter might be, 
a sudden blur in the air, 
when the picture cleared there
was a mare and her foal

five sheep had disappeared; 
the painting looked better,
but I didn’t linger, 
I wouldn’t like the artist to 
think I was a part of his picture     
wanting to erase me
for the sake of the prettiness.
of the landscape...

The storm has passed,
Leaving behind hills covered white
The sky opens up to blue
With a shining mixture of gray and opal
Clouds scattered all around
The pine trees sway,
Waving between the horizon and here
On the hill where the rocks in the stonewall,
Are capped with snow
The wind chime still hangs chiming winter songs,
To be heard from this hill
Where the sky shows beautiful stories
In every direction
To be told, scene by scene, year after year
