abstract masterpiece
star-spangled strokes of color
waltz around heaven

When my bipolar gets me down,
I do not take a med.
Crank up a disc of Johann Strauss;
that gets inside my head.
I have been known to dance and hum
and waltz around the room.
That gay and happy music helps
me push away the gloom.
worlds collide
as whirlwinds
twirling churn
in their incessant dance
galaxies waltz around while
unrehearsed a minuet of stars
bounce where winds may blow
meandering
gliding sliding
on their elliptical courses
travel in stride
skating graceful
in mid air

Listen to poem:
gliding sliding meandering
traveling in stride
skating graceful in mid air
worlds engage as whirlwinds
their twirling churn
in their incessant dance
galaxies waltz around while
unrehearsed a minuet of stars
bounce where winds may blow

Listen to poem:
In whirl and twirl we waltz around
feeling guised and chastised
raising brick laden walls
Going ‘bout our daily business
foiled and desensitized
plagued by the veil of apathy
Once spring arrives and the sun shines bright
amazing how a walk in nature
can revive those dormant sluggish feelings
“I think we miss that touch so much, that we crash into each other, just so we can feel something." Crash, 2004

Here lies this weary body of mine,
My trip through life was brief;
The youth I had is long since passed,
For age is but a thief.
The hand that takes is swift and strong,
The hand that takes is cruel;
The battle is over but who has won,
Is there another rule?
We waltz around our numbered days,
With steps of measured beat;
But often the steps tend to fall,
If they cannot take the heat.
But in the nether parts of time,
I’ll rise again to sing my rhyme.
