Flowing ribbons,
Colored valentines,
Friendly thoughts

Close your eyes and see
Your friends as they used to be
Before life claimed them--
Drove them away from your side,
As it drove you far from them.
Listen to laughter,
The high pitched squeals . . . more

My heart beating
A sweet tattoo in time
As your presence expands my soul's

Winter
Rips through my clothes,
Chaps and reddens my cheeks,
Sails crisp brown leaves capriciously;
Her time to cool Earth's overheated crust
After seasons of growing stuff;
She shows us her . . . more

The adobe stills
As musicians leave to rest;
Guttering candles
Shadow walls and instruments
Left to listen to murmurs

See the bright petals!
Peace accompanies their truth--
Sweet, fragrant flowers.

When late becomes early . . .
When the moon sails by . . .
When stillness prevails . . .
In the nighttime sky
A crash in the underbrush
Sketched lightly by snow
A red fox in downward throes
Pounces . . . more

An inviting time
Of gentle breezes
Beside a canal,
Feet dangling over
An ancient stone wall,
Hungry, eager ducks
Rasping their demand
For the bread you drop
Past your sun-warmed knees . . . more

It doesn't matter who you are
Rocketman or superstar
When you've been hit by cupid's aim
Your soul's ablaze with passion's flame
Of love, desire, in swirling gyres
Of taste . . . more

Aweigh, aweigh!
Remove belay;
We must sway and win this day
Of rising seas,
Quickening winds,
To bode boards with more than spray!
Oh, what a sight!
The sails in flight,

Hot stones catechize my heart
Only to collide and grind
To sand
Rough motes on a stormy day
Allowed past fabric sentries
To live
Sprinkled as cops breaking feuds
Of . . . more

Ragged sky blanket,
Sheep's wool lived under too long,
Shows mazarine blue
With the sun's dying efforts
To clear things up for the night

It comes
Out of the depths;
Again the quickened beat
Before my mind can express it,
Before my feet can take me to the tools
My fingers use to mark the joy
Of noises down the hall;
Slowly . . . more

He peeks at me, the golden eye, and grins,
Light spreading wide as shadows run and hide,
He watches fields as newborn day begins.
He peeks at me, the golden eye, and grins!
He pushes high so heated air . . . more

Silence
Splits predawn air
Widening eyes to strain
And see what moves on black grass spears
Outside
Two deer step with innocent stealth
Across the pebbled path
Lightly shadowed

Dad looks hard to find his wooden mallet
To rabbet the dead-flat planks, just right.
He’ll tap the joints when he can find it--
Dad looks hard to find his wooden mallet.
He’ll also . . . more

'Tis time again to hoe the fields;
The water runs and the sun soars quickly high.
In sweat and toil, on landscape, hard,
He chops and weeds, then sows and reaps,
His song of life no idle lullaby to . . . more

Mom’s green hat with feather snippets
Bob in a flowered chapeau band;
On Sissy’s head, a grand exhibit,
Mom’s green hat with feather snippets,
Yellow shoes with nylon anklets,
Sissy moves . . . more

Once more I hop to the lip and stand
On the edge of my world, and stretch--
What’s that? The wind is fierce today!
My feathers flutter--they feel so good--
But I grip the nest for dear fledgling . . . more

Rain streams down windows
Cataracts from soulful clouds
Wept to cleanse our souls
Upon reflection from here
Our warm and cozy homesteads
