These summer drapes will never
Serve to hold in time.
And keep this quiet cocooned moment safe
Within this darkened room.
What we are right now will easily escape into
The outside . . . more

My purse hollow
My arms scrawny
My taste buds sour
My mouth deflated
My hunger gnawing
My sight poor with desperation
His wallet thick with judgment
His biceps bulge with burdens
His tongue . . . more

I wish I could love you back to me,
welcome you into my softness,
chase away the clouds,
and give you comfort in the night;
Whisper words so seldom heard,
kiss away your tears,
show you love's . . . more

We sit in our pristine churches,
in our mansions made of glass;
We pray for those who have nothing,
but when we see them, we walk past.
We congregate, try to legislate,
but forget those in . . . more

Insomniac nights, drifting
listening to lists and pleas
Please hear me
A new red bikini and the body to wear it
A coat for my son, a fine fish for supper
A thousand sticks of joss to perfume your temple, . . . more

Here is where lonely begins
hand on brass knob
one last glance back
to an already gone room.
Hands on a steering wheel
out of the driveway
and a pause to . . . more

He was at the end of his journey now
A long stroll he’d been given
Soon to take life’s last breath
He could see all those he had so dearly loved
Some physically with him,
Some . . . more

What's on my plate is what's on my plate
No need to look for other definitions
Like those that ride on the tail winds
Of rusting steam engine trains
That cast off traces of shadow
Lingering . . . more

Dancing the Edge
She dances the edge, drifting seamlessly between illumination and shadow, sniffing.
Sniffing, he prowls the edge, weaving blithely between not and is, desiring.
Desiring, it searches . . . more

This morning as I sang with the choir at church I noticed people visibly absorbing our music as it raised their sprits and gave them hope. Our song was “More Precious Than Silver/I Stand in . . . more

So much is lovely
in the course of a day;
Do we see it?
So much beauty
in the trees and the skies,
the sound of birds singing
as we live our lives.
We run to and fro,
pass it by . . . more

My heart is aching;
I feel so scared;
I don't know
what you're feeling
or thinking,
and I need you
like flowers need the rain;
I can't imagine
never seeing you again;
You gentle my . . . more

Why war?
Why not peace?
A peace in our heart that we seek.
Why war?
Why not love?
An emotion that passed on by Above.
Why war?
Why not hope?
A worst thing to be without.
Peace we find . . . more

Sometimes I fly on angel's wings
when my strength is running low,
and I cannot seem to walk the path
that it seems I am destined to go;
Sometimes in my darkest moments
when my hope is . . . more

Fifteen minutes ago, I was smiling at you,
Loving the way you love me,
Loving the way you take care of me
And the way you tell me I'm pretty even when I don't feel like it.
Fifteen minutes . . . more

Celebrate the art of breathing as if it were purest gold
Or that of a fantasy wrapped up in silken rainbows
For what isn't there to love as the dawning fills up your eyes
Or to hear the sound . . . more

Amuse me amusement park and make me glad if you're able
As I walk through your turnstiles ready to buy any fable
And my role as the rider on the merry-go-round of life
Asks a break in cadence . . . more
