Death Is BeautifulOur bodies are designed for birth and death;
our brains are subconsciously in control.
At birth, we instinctively take a breath,
without being told; we're born to our role.
Our bodies release endorphins at birth
to ease our passage, dulling...

As Time Goes ByHome Again reprise:
We and Time started
out together but somewhere
Time left us behind
The home of childhood -
a house now owned by others -
resides in the past
When the blush of youth
has matured into wise years,
memories remain
Life's path...

Under the Apple TreeUnder the tree, I sit once again
A long decade it has been
Before, a girl, lost and alone
A woman into which she has grown

Radiance In the Dark
In the gloomy nights
Dies my life; my soul
Fighting unconquerable fights
Demons within the cold
Lying on the floor
half dead__alive
Fading image of the shore
Far off for a glide
A sense of vision

when words pursue their quarry
people turn wary
simple is better
even in Dear John letter
feelings unfetter
angry verbs go rogue
no matter how softly spoke

Afraid of my PenI'm afraid of my pen,
It opens me up for everyone to see.

Laboring silently, my spirit tattered and torn.
For the promise of pennies, I've bent my back low,
While the masters of plenty reap what I sow.
They say, "Be content,...
