Clothes CallDoes that old clothespin feel the cold
Worry about its aged look
Sun dried, rain tinted, grayed
Does it think about the “clothing”
Children’s flapping diapers
Growing to blue jeans
The “old man’s” shirts
He’s still working
As is the clothespin
Mostly it gets...

having a stammer since pre-school
I also loved soccer to play and watch

Willow treeI used to imagine stepping off the shingles of my childhood home
Thought it might be poetic
To end it
Where it started
While perched there
Peaking over
Waiting for the wind to catch me right
I caught a glimpse...

THE END OF TIME
To sit with my family in my bedroom
when something from the outside went boom
We looked out the window and to our dismay
A fire ball of smoke was headed our way
The time was elapsing so fast...

Where Did All The Time Go?Where did all the time go?
It feels like yesterday
When we ran through the sunflower fields
And it feels like tomorrow
When we lose all the feelings of youth
Where did all the time go?
Just last night we raised...

Flashing their feathers in colorful lights
Sending off songs makes the world alive
Heating the lust up as the sun rises
and cooling the cupidity off by moonlit

As the tides rip and pull
In just an instant
Out beyond our control
Without ground
Without a shore

We are delivered
In the Clear...

In TimeThe hardest stones may crumble
in time.
The surest feet may stagger and stumble

The greatest speakers stutter and mumble

In Search Of You
In conclusion
A beginning
Forth right in it's way
Stepping
Out and beyond
I dip my foot
In the unseen
A daring moment
A final adieu
To leave yesterday
Behind
In search of you

Not with distance, not with time.

In passing thoughts.
