(2013)
Orange full moon with a half smile, a hanging lantern, lighting the way, through dark streets,
On a walk this morning, the rocky cliffs that reach the blue-green sea, talk of strength today.
This evening the blank, white page is open. My nerves are on edge, while a storm forms on the horizon.
Easing down the gravel road, yellow leaves spiral across, like a welcome
In the bright moments My mind is a flame, Melting obstacles, Gaining gifts of wisdom. In the dark moments
One lit candle burns brightly As I make a wish upon it’s Golden aura, that Humankind May learn to caress the earth As the wind does a field of flower…
The many places I have been And countless faces I have seen, The many tales to be told, Into the universe, they unfold. It’s all a passing show,
It’s that time of year again. The sound of honking geese fills the air, as they pass in alignment, to the Deep South.
Life is a day dream So they say, With every beat Of my heart, The gate to love
One year since I traveled to paradise. One year since I laughed and danced with friends. One year since I watched
Squirrels with bushy orange tails leap about the deck. Crickets hum, confused that it’s not dark yet. The caw of a blue jay
If I could go back in time I would fix my wrongs, I would sing new songs And mend all hate And open the gate
Photos are all I have At times, Of smiling familiar faces, My family spread out. I would travel often
The dance of fear, Of not being enough, Stops and starts. The unknown, an Uncharted sea,
Pale blue moon Of August, Peeking behind The clouds, Luminous,
