If I Could ~~~~~ If I could see through all time, Identify when I fall or I climb, Abandon it, no reason, rhyme, Would I live my life sublime? If I could travel across space, And find and visit every place, Memorize so I can’t misplace, Will I ken reality is not a race? If […]
Children All
Children All ~~~~~ All poems are poems for children, Whatever we think they’re about. Children all are born to be poets, Dream alive a mother’s heartbeat. Until they’re lost to ones, naughts.

Any Story
Any Story ~~~~~ Winding down the lane or Winding up the stair. Am I alone in this pursuit for? Is there someone there? Can I see them beside me? Do I believe them far away? Is it faith, a new way to see, Or what all the asses bray? Maybe these two are the same. […]
What to Seek
What to Seek ~~~~~ In a church done in the 1890’s style, I’m told. Should that make me smile, Question all truths I’ve held awhile? Do these questions have any answer; That’ll matter to another generation? Did I think I’d find my chance here, Hope I would be forgiven all my sin? I don’t believe […]
