“She will look in at me with her thin arms extended, offering a handful
of birdsong and a small cup of light. ” ~ William Collins Offering She stands like a bonze statue and feels her strength in both sheen and stance Eyes steadfast feasting on the shadows or the dim that looms beyond She stands like a beacon casting light into the night And though alone she stands with...

Knock, knock….. Who goes there?
Who Goes There It seems so many years ago that I came to see those eyes in the mirror those eyes that I used to avoid or glance at so very quickly fearing what I might see I’d applaud myself and imbue in my longings both virtue and order I thought I knew the contentment of solitude But it wasn’t...

"There are nights when the wolves are silent and only the moon howls"
~ George Carlin Beyond Planets circling in the vast beyond and our eyes, so very often, fixated on the imperial skies wondering and soaked in celestial When moon and stars give way to night vision our imagination ascends Without measure and without end Such pleasure given by that which seems forever...

"Each day brings 86,400 seconds. Whatever isn't used is gone forever.”
Crimson Folds The pleated morning sky in all its rapture and solemn sway tempers my confusion or weariness blows softly on the dregs and dust of my discontent There, in the benevolence of a sun-kissed morn, my woes are forfeited to the sounds of the world awakening In tiptoe and hush I smile at the...

“Being an 18-karat manic-depressive …… I have an overly acute capacity
for sadness as well as elation. ~ Frank Sinatra Manic We are all undoubtedly manic vacillating between full amplification and melancholy introspection In our lows we ponder the beyond the minutia of the cosmos The northern lights move us to tears even if we can’t even see them In our highs we become...

“You really have to love yourself to get anything done in this world.”
