Winter 2024
What is the happiest moment of the… When I make someone laugh When I am of use for the good When I show kindness When I hold a hand
What is truth? It’s a changing sky, One day clear, The next, cloudy, Holding the blue and grey,
When you are not here An empty heart full of fear Arises and wonders If I will see you again. What will I do without
Thoughts flicker like twinkling lights, ride them across the sky. Embrace your dream,
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
At that magical time When the yellow moon Sets, And the pink mist Of dawn,
This is the America I know: A sea of white, black, red, yellow And brown faces, Strong minds and voices Raised to the sun,
The red cardinal high in a tree, caught my attention with his melodious chirp on my daily walk.
Red cardinal dancing On white snow, How regal you appear With your cloak of red, How it cheers my heart
What inspires me... Hummingbirds buzzing as they land, on nearby flowers. Their amazing wings
Life is not fair at times... But of course things Change quickly down the line, We are born into a No guarantee world.
Oh hummingbird Where are you now? Have you taken My courage with you? Oh hummingbird
The misty, night rain, Soaking bare trees, Bringing nourishment. I stand at the window, A steady beat echoes
The buck in the garden Chewing up hard earned Labor, His antlers raise, His ears perk up, as
Walking on the edge, Between awareness and sleep. Sometimes... I’m in the moment, I feel my body,
