your courage has uplifted me
you might be a pansy,
but there is nothing wimpy or simple about you
Your resistance to the elements has us cheering
Some nights I want to cover you with a bucket
to give you a bit of warmth
but do I remember?
Sadly, I do not.
You thrive in spite of my lack of compassion.
You have enough resilience for the two

Uplifted
A vault of vibrant stars shivered
From the canvas of a dark silk night
Brush strokes of the blushing moon melts through clouds
in luminous interlude
across streams of silence
This calm, this resonate serenity,
This hush of contented skies,
This heart transfixed with fond identity,
A night of divinity, as beauty sighs
I am borne again
I am bliss with this realm’s night
forever is

Waking, Her Pretty Smile, Her Presence- Both Lives Uplifted
Waking, Her Pretty Smile, Her Presence- Both Lives Uplifted
Of all the old broken roads left so very far behind
No, nothing, nothing rests easy on this wondering mind
O' yes, there were earthen angels that knelt to pray for me
Because truth is, I once was wild, so very wild and free
In my illusions, heart birthed its

Promises Uplifted
beyond earnest vows
and doting promises
our love will last
forever and a day
yet all avid promises
are one day shattered
in spite of best intentions
sometimes I hear its thunder
it’s in the quiver of his voice
the shiver of his nightmares
the shudder in his fearful eyes
the feeling of helplessness
over his body convulsing
inevitable visits to the oncologist
vital treatments and

In the Valley
In the valley where
Life is lived as intended
Happiness is widespread
As far as any eye can see.
Joy and love reign
As peace and blessings
Fall from above.
Minor disagreements though
Few and far between,
Met with acceptance and
Understanding are
Respectfully resolved with
Knowledge and equality
For the good of all involved.
In the valley
Poverty does not exist.
Seeds of wealth
Planted since
The beginning of time
Have been

Uplifted By Courage
my heart has come full circle-
in discovering who you are,
i identified myself-
this path gives me HOPE
yet, at times
leaves me desultory
who can I be without you?
tell me,
what would become of my DREAMS-
i cannot PROSPER wearing a soul
longing to be held

Umbrella Uplifted, Full of Rain
Dipped my umbrella
Full of your vows and my fears
I skipped across the laketop
Dipped, rinsed them both out,
Had to decide if ‘I do’
I ran off from the altar
And let the sweet lake,
Friend without expectations
Cascade onto my shoulders
And wash out my hair
Wash out my fear of living
Remind me of our dreams, love
I will not be back
I, of

Uplifted
The smile can be sent
To that lady so old
Who pushes her walker
In spite of the cold
Who heads to the diner
Though slippery the street
And holds to the hope
Some kind people she'll meet.
Or look to that mother
Who reigns the kids in
And single these three years
And no it's no sin
That she should be struggling
The bills and the house
And
