I remember loving you
I remember you and the promises
the feel of the embrace of love
the tenderness of feeling whole
I remember loving you
and everything it so entailed
the magic of our togetherness
and the mightiness of our bond
Basically I remember you loving me
and me loving you ~
we’re caught in a cosmic dance
I’ve let the grieving take its course
it fills me now...

You're an eternal, beautiful soulYou are not what happened to you. You are not what they try to label you. You are an eternal, beautiful soul that is part of the infinite divinity of source and the universe.
You're an eternal, beautiful soul

That thing that you fear
You are not that experience
That trauma that...

A Second For Us AllIn buses, on bikes, as passengers in Ubers
Faces blur and deeds collide.
Sprint down streets, stuck behind the slow,
always in passing I see stories unfold.
Quick check behind in case of cars,
None in sight but there's a beep.
Cyclists are invisible to pedestrians with places to be.
Taxi beeps at taxi and beeped at hops out
To harass the beeper...

she looked up
cracking a little smile
her eyes far into the distance
and thoughts reaching out beyond
like all she needed were the memories

Come ForthHear God’s shout across the skies,
Calling your name - no more surprise.
Come Forth! He says, with a rocking voice,
Foundations stir, they know His holy voice,
Let the miraculous realm arise,
A flood of wonder before your eyes.
A new unction-oil begins to pour,
From heaven’s gate to your troubled soul.
It will replace the sigh with song,
A shout...

Our Better Angels - typo corrected
On this radiant moment, a ceiling
of new moon beguiles the park-lane
where the breeze tosses its wings,
lit by a fluorescent in a haze I can't
comprehend--- a whip of angst encircles
my despair unrelenting to the beat
of a warm summer eve so glorious;
and yet, my spirit drowns from pain,
from the absence of love 's loss in ruins--
there is...

Mind Your LanguagePlease mind your language when you speak to me
Don't dare to cross my clear set boundary
This life is hard enough without word wars
So speak with good intent and don't leave scars
I do not have the time for guess work, dear
Make motive clear, your conversation steer
to truthful words, for they are sure to find
a deep connection...

Rebirth of the SoulWhen the mind faltered
Alternate timelines were born
Lines of realities blurred
Rifts of possibilities torn
Truth fading into the abyss
Chained to the unknown
Silently waiting for life's kiss
To shatter this stone cold throne
Provoking thy swarming thoughts
Clawing and scratching for the one
Blinded by hopes deemed naught
Until one's dreams are none
Walls shaking and quaking
Slashing and ripping
Sharpening newfound wings
Clutches of chaos beating
Sealing...

MIRAGE OF CLARITY Beauty is in the Eye of the BeholderMIRAGE OF CLARITY
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
In the side view mirror of the U-Haul,
my familiar world slips away,
the verdant green hills of North Texas,
lush and breathing,
their whispers fading into dust.
We roll into the heart of the Permian Basin,
the lushness surrendering to the parched expanse.
Flat is the land—yellow, ochre and brown;
the sagebrush and mesquite, stoic in...

LEAVE ME NOT IN THE LURCHLife, as I’ve come to know it
Is trial wrapped in unexpected moments
A dance of hope, missteps, and loss
Like betting all blindly in business.
Each soul must face its reckoning
Some see the signs, prepare in time
Others, like smoke behind a jet
Only glimpse what’s left behind.
I was one of the second kind
By the time I looked, it was...

Go Fish The Big One
Remember as a child playing cards,
Go Fish?
A child's life and fishing go together,
dreaming about catching the big one.
How big is the big one?
At what age will they catch it?
Will it be from land or from a boat?
Yes a child will dream about the big one,
the big one being on the end of their fishing line.
One...

Just a Slip of Tongue
A runner plagued
by endless thirst,
tried all manner of things
to end the curse.
A camel bag or bottle
slowed his pace.
His yen for simple,
lasting relief, became a race -
Relentless!
Seeing smooth pebbles
in the bed of a stream,
he took a pea-sized one;
stowing it under his tongue.
His saliva flowed;
his thirst was gone, up-aweigh!
Until the...
