(2014)
After hearing a favorite song and remembering a difficult time, a poem came out
On a walk this morning, the rocky cliffs that reach the blue-green sea, talk of strength today.
I remember your smile, your laugh,… you gave so freely. It’s hard that you are gone. I sigh and walk along the bay.
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
Red bird perched on a tree limb laced with snow. So happy to see him and the joy he brings.
Brown hawk with spotted tail, soaring on the wind, balancing like a sail. Your piercing cry
Leaves falling, Another season Decorating the earth. One red leaf In my path,
Squirrels with bushy orange tails leap about the deck. Crickets hum, confused that it’s not dark yet. The caw of a blue jay
At that magical time When the yellow moon Sets, And the pink mist Of dawn,
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…
Orange full moon with a half smile, a hanging lantern, lighting the way, through dark streets,
Walking on the beach of long ago, the constant roll of the gulf, it’s sound, like a lullaby.
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,
Cool breeze rustles through the tr… drifting into my open door and leads me to the window to see leaves falling with abandon. Highlights of red and gold lace
Itchy eyes scaly feet achy joints and bad teeth hair so fine
If I had all the time In the world To write, What would I say? What would be the most
