A wonderful that is beyond soul’s grief
A tenderness that feeds the moment gentleness
A silent truth that arrives...

Farewell, Dear AmericaFarewell, dear America, farewell for now.
The gold that once gleamed bright and shiny
upon a hill built through toil,
built with faith and dreams,
is for many just a glimmer
far away, it seems.
Built by those in revolt
against kings and unfair tax,
built...

Song of my old ageLet me now sing the song of my old age,
All I recount now belongs to the past.
Since the noticed changes are far too vast,
Let this song be sung by a real sage.
This face, now so...

Desire FireVerse 1
Somethin' that you told me,
Echoes in the dark,
Whispers in the shadows,
Igniting every spark.
You wanted me to love you,
With a fire, so intense,
When you said it simply,
I could feel the recompense.
Chorus
Reach out and touch me,
Feel...

Angels Unawares
It’s taken a lifetime to write the song
Legends of joy upon the mountain peaks
Evoking rhapsodies from festive weeks
Written by one whose always been headstrong
It’s taken such strength to write each soft verse
As the silence reaches...

When This Heart Not Yet TiredLooking for dusk
My heart will wait
Breathing the sea breeze
My feet touches the recede waves
While looking the sun down
I wait you here at beach
Twilight soon will appear
Bringing sadness to my very core
Sound of the waves is...

The Orange that remembersI ate a tangy orange today—
its honeyed nectar pulled me back,
to the orchard, where the air danced
with citrus and sunlight.
That tangy, sweet fragrance
brought back a rush of memories:
childhood days of spraying peels,
stinging our eyes, saying,...

The Many Uses of Bubble GumIn my youth, I made
A bubble gum ball . . .
That over time just got bigger and bigger, usually.
It was sticky icky, just like me.
It splattered perfectly onto the wall ....

The smell of freshly cut lawns
A bright blue sky on Summer morns
Our neighbour playing his saxophone
As the sun fades my mother calling me home
Riding my bike as fast an I can
My father whistling as...

A Variety of HatsThroughout the years, my kids had
A variety of hats,
Along with all the books and dolls
And games and baseball bats.
A few were parts of costumes
Or vacation souvenirs,
While others served as props
For princesses or buccaneers.
Though most have...

Missing You A LotA summer ago, a gift from you
A melancholy autumn, without you
A summer ago, there's no one but you
The summer looks like a game
Excitement bring fun to both of us
It's great but lasts a little
Spring come,...

Ivory Flakes
gentle slivers of His muse,
destined for the earth –
painting a silence on the spirit
with the burst of lifelike trembling,
the wonder of nature’s breath
poured out over the night,
caressing the lasting grace with one finger
who remembers what...

Youth Floats On, Floats On By - - Stanhope RoadShouts of triumph and defeat echo from the fields
day in and day out.
Drivers continue learning in that same cracked parking lot,
living proof that history repeats itself;
different shaking 16-year-olds,
same bumped curbs and too-hasty turns.
And Youth floats...
