lovely talented people seem,
to burst into the spotlight,
gone too soon, the reapers moon,
Whitney now in spirit flight ...

Backpacking
I search my truth
place unknown—
With abandon 
limbs roam  free
on brown pampas,
thirsting for newfound conquests.

There’s a wanna-be boxer named Whitney,
Who deals blackjack in Atlantic City.
I said with a straight face,
“That you’ll never win, ace.”
And then foolishly told him to hit me....

You once said
    Follow your dreams
       Give them wings
     And a strong voice
       You showed me
      How to stand tall
Your words, prepared me for this.

Suitcase still
Life abandoned
Grass grows hope
It enters soil
Makes more grass
If you return
Discard will greet you in green.

Far enough 

He set 'er down 

Feet were tired 

The sun was low 

Gotta rest 

Still far to go 

Hopes tomorrow he'll be home

my coffee 
morning delight
all day long
not though at night
can not sleep

Secrets kept--
their hidden locks
thrown away,
changing image
in new farm
properly dressed--
woman of shame restores name.

Dawn sheds light
On my escape
With one case,
Frozen in fear.
Seasonal fields
Share golden hues
With God's optimistic light.

Whitney 2 - Daddy 1933

Daddy was
a homeless tramp
weary of
the lonesome trail.
Laying down
an ageless bag
his eyes closed on golden fields.

half a heart,
my belongings
in this cracked
old leather case.
through greener
path on earth I
wonder this to disappear.

Farewell to Whitney.
An angelic voice is still.
We will remember
you graced us with your music.
We have lost a great treasure.

Destiny

Carries its dreams

Encased in

Crumpled leather

Awaiting

Fate’s trembling touch

Old hands clutching a promise

In a field
Lies all our hopes
Ancient case
Filled with pure gold
Opens hard
With old latches
The dreams of a lifetime sits

I wander
        In barbed circles
          Seeking grace
         In faux distance-
           Looking back
          In wry dismay… 
My baggage has followed me

our soldiers 
are courageous
strong and very
brave and they go
anywhere they
are sent and fight
and die to keep us all free

Hummingbird
   motionless now
      hovers still
         rising, falling
            on my breast
               as laughter rings
    it doth animate his wings.

Ripped knapsack
decays with time,
ever stained
from war’s horror.
My young son
flipping  in—out
through piles of bones and .echoes.

'A Suited Soul'



Left behind
A tortured mind
Life confined
A Love declined
Left to rest
Days dusty dressed
Love gone wrong a soul compressed.

It
was blue,
it was green,
it was red and
pink-
new 
colours
amplified-
a still life set
free

He'd left them

to see the world

but was not 

heard from again.

His suitcase -

now found - lies packed

yet abandoned in their field.

Motionless
In greenish field,
Unmoved by
The blowing wind,
The suitcase
Has baby food
Stolen by the fleeing thieves.

She was a songbird like no other
     Her light, her fire, drugs did smother

    The impact addiction had on her, tragic
But whenever I hear her on the radio, magic

~Beautiful Angel~

Angels are
Blessed beings
They appear
In many shapes
To us are
Sent from Heaven
To lifts us when in trouble.
