9/11

There's a cop at the bar,
drinking his usual scotch for the night.
     There's a daddy rushing home,
to play with the kids, then tuck'm in bed for the night.
     There's a young couple, childhood sweethearts,
on their honeymoon, making love for their very first time.
     There's an old man at his wife's bedside,
still holding hands, while saying "Good-bye."
      Ater sixty years of marriage,
she's still his one delight.

Waterfall

As the water flows through the rocks,
 bouncing from edge to edge,
  lights dance in the pools,
   we dance the dance of a lifetime.

We added many things
 to this waterfall we're building,
  only to discared and recollect 
   old yesterdays left behind.

I found a few frogs
 or maybe they found me,
  they seem to show-off my ugly flaws.

Then some turtles wandered in,
 just where they fit in,
  we may never  know for sure.

I hope the water never ceases to flow;
 and like the love in our hearts,
  I hope the water will
   forever flow.
