“The Sun, with all the planets revolving around it, and depending on it,
can still ripen a bunch of grapes as though it had nothing else in the Universe to do. ” ~ Galileo Watching Even amidst the stale and drowsy air the Universe remains delicious Its glorious grips defiling liars and healing agonies Draped like the night in scarlet folds its simplicity offers promises...

For my daughter and for anyone who has faced adversity and risen above…
Taking In the small crease between heart and heartless Naysayer and hopeful keeping Between pure and the spoils of forgotten love In the hollow that separates the boy from boisterous and the girl from womanly sentience There hides defining moments; moments when choice beckons and there is no room...

“Laughter is the sun that drives winter from the human face.” ~ Victor Hugo
Trumpets The grainy November sky seeps into our bones; an undisguised reminder of swiftly changing The city creaks and sways like an old fishing pier yielding to the autumn wind At night the solemn stars are barely seen Teeming senses dulled slightly by the chill-filled constant heaving of winter’s...

“There are only 3 colors, 10 digits, and 7 notes; it’s what we do
with them that's important. ” ~ Jim Rohn How If there is solely dark and plunder the green of envy or the blue of burden How then would grace be seen How could we catch the risen stars or sinking moon in the palm of our hearts How could we sing farewells or touch the untouchable If there is only...

I think I’m a closet storm-watcher. I’m captivated by the power of waves.
Wave Wash of the sea amorous in its longing transparent in its green or blue The calm and patient shore reshaped by the kiss of splash and the endless succession of wave upon wave Exquisite is its relentless movement Deliberate is its tide And from the shore we embrace its leavings for there is no...

I long to accomplish a great and noble task, but it is my chief duty to
accomplish humble tasks as though they were great and noble. The world is moved along, not only by the mighty shoves of its heroes, but also by the aggregate of the tiny pushes of each honest worker. ~ Helen Keller Glass and Steel After graduation I talked my way into a job In that building that...

Sometimes a few moments of reminiscence is just what the Dr. ordered….
Memories I do not forget the past Today, at least my reminiscence is uprisen Prairie sunsets shot with gold, maroon, and cerulean Colours until that very moment unknown Luminosity fights through the silent shadows Time may have circled round and round and how these places have changed landmarks...

A little “lighter” today – Please stay out of my personal hula hoop! ~~~~~
Hoop There are secrets in my coffee and some demons in my soup There are stories in my toast crumbs Please respect my personal hoop Aspirations seen in tea leaves My dreams may drift with the clouds I don’t consider my privacy an impenetrable, air-tight shroud But should you rifle through my...

We don't have to attend every argument we're invited to...~~~~~~~~~
Inevitable A point so self evident as to not merit repeating Yet it rears it ugly head time and time again Oh, how I attempt to ease myself out of destructive, self-searing debates Or with sudden volte-face I am simply besieged by the inevitable; the unretractable burning words of sorry This path is...

“Music and silence combine strongly because music is done with silence,
and silence is full of music. ” ~ Marcel Marceau Silence Where sound is soundless and echoes no longer reverberate and hush is a solitary voice T here lies dampened beaches hundreds of seasons markless resting stones There too, the liveliest of obscure and unknown Thick and countless aspirations...
