On Being Late
When I leave on time, I often arrive late When, I linger too long, I also arrive late I write one more email, like it can’t wait Hear one more song and ponder my fate I’m like many, my life not what I thought What I had wanted is not what I have got Not […]
Can Harmony Be known?
Rich harmonies spring forth, combine Close your eyes in wonder, so sublime Storyteller’s voice weaves magic above Within and without, a tale about love Chiaroscuro words shift, hide, reveal Bits of forever, our imagination steals Dreams, smoke, dim, bright, the same Win and lose, while playing life’s game Yet losers are winners, never doubt it […]
Just the Same
What is the frown I see upon your mug? It looks like someone really needs a hug That someone you refer to has a name Please use it; I’ll take that hug just the same
Neverending
Will we Grow, Grow up Grow old, Grow old Together In all weather Woven, weaving A tapestry Joined, cleaving Or a shroud Grieving, giving, Dying, living Out loud Friend, lover Mover, cover Shielding all, Memories Times, signs Lightening, thunder Torn asunder Torn apart Hearts shred Mere threads Tatters, blood Splatters, Should we Clutch tight, fight […]

Eyes grown dim and cloudy My memory starts to fade Not only the daily panoply But the choices I have made The horrors of youth soften Music, laughter fill the gap I always wonder how often My dark and light overlap
Just How it Goes

Blood of Your Blood
Do family gatherings make you scream, Sometimes so bad that you turn mean? You have to wonder if you are related; When it is time to leave, you’re elated Some drink to excess, are bigots, drunks Angry at life; you must bear their junk No matter how calm you try to act, be Beliefs so […]
Canvassing
Many believe we come into this world table rasa I think we’re not a blank slate, but a white canvas White looks quite stark, but contains all the colors Throughout life, we scrape off some, add others Painted canvas, like puzzle pieces, fill in life’s tale No matter where we start or end, it’s the […]
