Life

The strength of one that’s young and bold.
The patience of one who’s wise and old.
Is it false, or is it facts?
Are the reigns pulled tight, or are they lax?
Which would you prefer?
Or, in giving your’ answer, would you defer?
Life is about choice.
About heart, soul, and voice

West Virginia

My home, the land of the rolling hills. 
Where the trees embrace in mutual respect. 
Who can truly understand the mystery of the hills without living among them? 
I have learned much from the flowing waters. 
I have spoken with the spirits of the earth. 
I have discovered it's fiery soul. 
I have sung with the whispering winds. 
They have told me the same thing.
                      "I am STRONG,"
                      "I am POWERFUL,"
                    "I AM WEST VIRGINIA!"

Dreams

A dare to dream, a dream to dare.
The gift of dreamers everywhere.
Pirates dream of treasure and the open sea.
Birds dream of sailing the sky.
Your dreams await you now.
So set them lose and watch them fly.

Old Straw Hat

The old straw hat was worn,
              Its top center was torn.
              Some scissors and thread,
               Fixed the hole in its head.
              Till it is worn out once more.

Nature

Nature most devine.
    Blossoms dancing in the breaze.
      Trees singing their songs.

No Restrictions

Society labels all that we do.
Driving is for the old,
and playing is for the young.
Yet one thing remains for both to share.
                    Nature.
Too not only see the beauty of the hills, but to feel them and hear them sing.
Every hill has a story, and every tree and deer path, maybe more.
Every creek and stream can whisper secrets from the past,
telling the story of others who stopped to drink from the same waters.
One life doesn't have to end for a new one to begin.
Life can become endless, if you know how to make it last, it's one of the secrets of nature.
To be shared with the young and the old.
No restrictions apply.


      (Old and young in this poem refers to adults and kids)

Me, the 8-Ball

I feel like the 8-ball in a game of pool.
Not exactly the best looking ball on the table, but definitely the last one that you want to 
mess with!
Then there are the people who remind me of the "white ball."
They're always doing their best to knock anyone they come in contact with into a "pocket."
What the "white balls" never realize is that, eventually, they'll get sucked down too.
In retrospect, I'm glad I'm the "8-ball," true to myself and the last to go down.
                                          That's right! Me, the 8-ball, and proud of it!

The Seasons

Spring awakens new
Summer blooms, grows, and lives long
                     Fall and winter dies

To Be a Tree

Were I to decide today, I might choose the simplest way….
Yet, I cannot but think that I’d regret losing the experiences I would get.
Water, bends and flows and trickles through every crevice it can find….
Taking the path of least resistance to wind its’ way towards it’s’ goal.
Yes, water is flexible, as we should sometimes be….
But water evaporates.
Now a tree, yes, a tree….
A tree stands tall, reaching out as far as its’ limbs allow, so it can caress the heavens. 
A tree forces its’ roots deep, often ripping through concrete to remain firmly planted….
A tree is stable, strong, almost eternal…
It only fades when it must make room for another or when felled by an axe.
Were I to decide today, I might choose the water’s way….
But a tree’s life, I bet, would make me that much happier yet.

Midnight Motion

The moon yawned
  The wind roared
  The earth is fond
  of my heart that soars.
      The rivers all run
   The trees dance
   Nature as one 
   Love by chance.
