TRADITION WITH PRECISION
A poem celebrating art and the artist… 
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
ancient hands weave the threads of time
each brushstroke a heartbeat,  
each hue a memory etched in silence.  

brushes dip in pools of pigments,  
the clay shimmers like the first light,  
each stroke deliberate.  

every whisk echoes the practiced grace of learned

With a Gentle Hand

Ignored wounds
do not bleed at once,
but when touched for cure
they ache longer than they should,
reminding us how silence gathers dust
inside the body.

It is not that love is feared,
only that sometimes
its arrival feels unnecessary
like an extra flame
in a room already warm.

Still, a newborn’s breath
teaches another language of affection,
a fragile trust resting
in the hollow of two palms.

Love

With A Gentle Hand - Mystic

With a gentle hand,
You balance the world while its feet are still untried…
little fingers twist like seashells
around the promise of tomorrow.

Love is gentle in this place;
it hides within a cradle song,
a steady thrum of trust
leaning into your heart.

Every touch becomes a promise
each embrace a refuge -
showing the fragile ones
that gentleness carries power.

When the lullabies grow

Time Has Finally Caught Up With Me

Time has finally caught up with me —
A hush upon the bone —

The Mirror whispers differently —
Than when I stood — alone.

The Mind once fleet as Sparrow’s wing —
Now trembles — in the air —

As if the Thought — forgot its perch —
And left me — waiting — there.

The Body bends — where once it

There could never be a more gentle hand
than that of a mother and her loving touch.
The emotional bond takes place, unplanned
by the one who loves her child so much.

Even months before her babe is due to be born,
her shielding hands can often be found
on her tummy, protecting the child she's sworn
to keep healthy inside of

Premium MemberMissed the Oxymoron With Bright Midnight

Bright Moonlight

To capture moonlight in your palm
Forever hold the lunar sun
A double gift from nature’s kind
God’s day and night for everyone

When midnight is a raven black
The velvet night in silence shows
A luminous and bright midnight
A heart at peace  when beauty glows.

a Trimeric poem

With gentleness she makes no demands,
she gives her request with angelic serenity,
born with magic in her voice 
she knows she will not be denied.

She gives her request with angelic serenity 
and trilling sensuality in her eyes,
does she realize or is she innocent?

Born with magic in her voice,
you really have no choice
but to give

I knocked over another glass of water today
wait
today it was only a bit of water and lots of ice
If I had a nickel for every glass I had knocked over lately
I could refinish my bathroom floor with nickels

I could never trust myself with a glass of juice
Hoping those sticky messes are behind me
Especially grape juice

With a gentle hand, Father lead
Our mass of inexperience—
Humbled, childish human in need.
With a gentle hand, Father lead
Along gravel tracks, who's pitied 
Our paucity injurious.
With a gentle hand, Father lead 
Our mass of inexperience.

With a Gentle Hand-Mystic

with a gentle hand, Wynter,
brush your curls,
and don’t forget—
knot your braids tight
so the wind don’t snatch your shine.

with a gentle hand,
hold the butterfly—
be soft with the small things.
but don’t forget,
even wings push back
when the storm comes blowing.

with a gentle hand,
share your candy, your jokes, your light.
but keep one fist closed,
‘cause not everybody claps for you—
some

Together With Nature

I see the way the trees sway when your name leaves my lips
I hear the screams of their howls and the thoughts they wish to blow away
Their thoughts, 
My thoughts, 
Our thoughts,
They become whole, they become one 
Together with nature, yet keep me grounded 
I still think about you, I see us in the stars
