(2014)
After hearing a favorite song and remembering a difficult time, a poem came out
What if, The simple things In life, were the Most important Events.
The white snow lay gently on the ground in a swirl pattern. The sky, a slab of smooth grey stone.
Tonight, the wind whistles as it rushes through the atmospher… Winter’s bare limbs of swaying trees, dance in the shadows.
Rolling painted deserts of the west. Shrub bushes dot sloping hillsides. Relentless sun heats up
