golden with egg noodles and crusty French bread.
Pale lamplight outlines his craggy . . .

Seasons
Each one traverses
this path only once
I too must, but
for my own reasons
I carry on my shoulders
a bagful of seasons
When hunger calls
I pause, take one out
and put it in my mouth
Candy floss . . .

I
Seven days of rainfall
Gray skies, wind, mud, lack of sun
Turns my brain to mush.
II

Pollen carried on soft wind,
Spring's sweet scent. Ah-choo!

Untitled
They say that tomorrow is as yet unwritten
yet each day for me is a repetition of yesterday
and predicting my own future is as simple
As recollecting my sordid . . .

rain patters on roof
chilled to the bone we sip tea
talk of days since passed
***
we begin to warm
as we dry by the fireside
time stops not the rain
***
relive the moment
we capture it but briefly . . .

Slowly, graceful wings
Softly touch the still water.
Peace on quiet lake.

I am here, and yet I'm not.
The trees whispers my name,
Making it resonate between the mountains.
Thunder rumbles low in the background,
Waiting for the sky to light my stage.
Clouds darken, only . . .

Grasping for straws and searching for treasure,
Leaping to the moon.
Looking for silver linings and wishing on a star,
My heart keeps coming back to you.
Turning over a new leaf, starting a . . .

I saw her at Cub three days before Christmas,
looking for black-green scalloped winter squash,
no different from any other busy woman

4 years old and so innocent,
reality invades, oh, so menacing.
The man she`s trusted her short little life,
He`s taken his liberties, and scarred her for life.
He takes her hand, landing a . . .

Mommy holds tight her little girl`s hand,
as they travel the rough foreign land.
Mommy leads her down a path unknown,
but she knows her daughter`s will is strong.
They`ve finally made it to . . .

Watch her now
she stares into the light, it entrances
hypnotizes her mind.
Shes numb, dazed and lost in amazment of the daily
trance.
She breaths in the fire, an old awerness is
rekindeled.

Just a feeling
that we . . .
