Walking a cool, virgin morning,While the breeze is still awake,Brings smiles with the moon still high,And fresh breaths of air to take. To be out while the moon’s still up,In a race to beat the sweat,Soon, I’ll look up to heat waves,The summer sun will let. Moisture drips out of the air,An assist to theContinue reading “Cool Morning Fading”

Can you not find some joy,In things that bring joy to me,Like looking out a doorway,To see things that I can see? As the door begins to close,I feel so all alone,Alone, though we’re together,Just you at I at home. A parallel life we live,I’m on a cloud, you’re on the sun,As I fly inContinue reading “Living Parallel”

I am overcome with joy,That I am here with my son,It seems the years flew by,That we were apart but a short time. How God works these wonders,Is not for me to understand,He need not explain,This mizzle of his grace. Jesus and my son say bye for now,I am to return from whence I came,TheyContinue reading “Wait For Me – Part 2”

I came upon knee high grass,With golden tops of grain,A rustle of sound caused me pause,As it approached from just above. A little boy came running at me,Arms out with face aglow,I recognized him instantly,The ginger hair and freckles of my son. His skin was clean and cool,His hair like combing silk,His hug a perfectContinue reading “Wait For Me – Part 1”

Good morning my friend,I’m so excited to learn,What’s it like up there,Now you’re there in turn. Have you found your dear Mother,Or others who were kind,While you were here with us,Now there to share all time? Have you seen the throne room,Is Paul holding court,In praise of the Holy Father,Saints and citizens to sort? IsContinue reading “A Curiosity of Heaven”

He came to me in a dream,Dripping wet in accusations,Of wrongdoing, wrong thinking,Of tragedy, woe and avarice. He wore a look of expectation,As if to shed these aches of the heart,For he knows his time is short,And his mortality is drowning. Yet he has reveled a lifetime full,In perdition, telling lies,And drunk selfishness,Until all haveContinue reading “Drowning Man”

Music starts to the maestro’s baton,Graceful hands like a flower unfurl,Her eyes and chin roam high above,On her toes, with her mind in a twirl. Notes from Swan Lake greet her,Fettered in a grotto corner space,But memories slip out her castle,Showing surfeit of skill and grace. More beautiful now than ever before,As admirers watch inContinue reading “Marta Gonzalez – Prima Ballerina”

I step downstairs into the dark,To a stink of ocean bream,All alone in the middle of friends,In my pillow, I hide to scream. I want to be someone else,Someone whole, normal, free,I’m tired of depending on others,My life at an apogee. A puzzle to my conscious self,A vapid life that seems a lie,If not me,Continue reading “Dream Escape”

It does not appear to be there,Without reflection,Or some contemplation,It just isn’t there. It’s like a low flying hawk in the sky,Or an oak tree in a pine forest,A phalanx of fish just below the surface,Or a lioness lurking the brown Sahara. But if one looks deeper,Below the flash of the obvious,The evident sounds andContinue reading “At First”

The sun has set on your birthday,Your family has shared their love,How happy we are to have you,And for you, thank God above. Now sleep my darling in peace,Happy dreams our beautiful child,Like a campfire that warms our lives,Slow down and stay awhile.
