In the Quiet
Silence. Void of sound.. A deafening quiet blankets me,. My ears ring with echoes of nothing... I revel in the space of hushed existence. My soul is revived in this space.. My sanity returns. And then slowly.. The sounds of life return as well..

Long way home
Tell me where the shadows of time stand still Take me to that place where monuments of our lives hide It’s such a long way home. On the far side of the mountain’s morning shines Like a child’s eyes and the stars are so close You can reach into the sky and touch them. Do you know where it is And can you take me there ? It’s…

Holy Molly and an Irish Ale waiting for a table for two…

The Endless Hunching of Gravity's Shoudler
The Endless Hunching of Gravity's Shoulder Every day, I keep going back to the shed where the boards are stored, leaning up against the walls at leisure, waiting their turn to help shore up the crumbling hillside out behind the house. I take them out one at a time and walk them, hefted on my shoulder, over to where the…

face in my window
I think there were ghosts out tonight you could tell by their formative screaming and long shapes you could just tell how slow she went forward as if backwards with her children in long dresses creeping blue lights and what was she doing several nights a week the ghosts go backwards like an audience in white, they fly down…

On one side
And you can make me feel so much with hardly any effort again and again it happens makes me wonder would I explode if you actually tried? it’s an involuntary reaction of joy how’d this string get tied in the first place? so impossible yet it’s been possible and with hardly a perceptible movement hardly a a fraction of a…

Tumbleweed exit
Tumbleweed exit circling twigs across the dry dirt Gone, the clippity-clop of all the horses and the carriages The riders are gone! the walkers on wooden sidewalks too empty old Western saloon the last residents: Desire and inspiration are blowing down Main Street helplessly unattached tumbling circles without malice with…

Thank you
Your music makes me feel makes me long makes me think and dream It's like a friend always there understanding I'm here But also far away In my thoughts The greatness of a lyric The wave of a melody The boring concrete The cold cold surroundings Don't bother me I'm on my way to work But on my way there I'm given to fly

Awakening
The winter slowly fades into memory As spring arrives in the vacuum to be A swallow on a wing, a bee in the sun For the season has changed , spring has begun A carpet of bluebells & a primrose yellow in the glade As an ancient oak tree opens it's green cloak & the meadow awakes A chiff chaff calls & the cuckoo arrives for…

Songs of hope
Hear my cries oh Lord, hear my cries The thunder comes from many sides And in this chamber of stained white glass The lightning strikes swift and fast. Pure as the sunset on a snow capped range With no loss for words the angels sing. Songs of hope and songs of peace Words I do not recognize Bring me to my knees With hands…

My kitchen drawer
There’s a drawer in my kitchen that holds twist ties, screw drivers, flash lights, candles, matches, extra lunch bags…It is a drawer for useful miscellany! In my mind, I have a storage area like that too. Thoughts that solved problems, realizations, good ideas, inventions of small useful tools… I could sift through the…
