  • The Season of Death

    Death reaches his hands

    Shrivels leaves

    Rips them up

    Soon the ghosts and ghouls will scream

    They've waited all year for Halloween

     But this death is not a scary thought

    In fact it's comforting

  • Moderation

    To live is to die

    To laugh is to know what it feels like to cry

    To try is to fail

    To have friends is to have enemies as well

    The good does not stand alone

    But neither does bad

    There is no ying without yang

  • What’s in a name?

    Beatrice


    “The bringer of joy”

    That doesn’t quite feel right

    I’ve been told my smile lights up the room

    But who am I to believe that my existence would be the pinnacle of bright?

    And maybe that is the catch

  • bittersweet end

    Our end is bittersweet,

    some look down in defeat, 

    while others raise their fists in victory.

    Some of us may cry when we wave goodbye, 

    some may smile with a twinkle in their eye.

  • Take a Moment

    To you

    you who lives among our rainbow hills--

    green one moment

    orange the next

    and always blue in the distance--

    you who lives along a river

    you who lives looking into sunsets

    you and you

  • Playlist

    A ton of songs -

    Over fifty -

    I love them all,

    But fade so quickly.

    My interest dies

    By the tenth repetition,

    And so I move on

    To a cooler mission.

    This beat, this soundtrack

    On a loop.

  • Summer Lemonade

    It's 9 o'clock on a Saturday- 9:00 AM, that is, when Mom made lemonade for the annual summer party at our house. Fresh-squeezed lemonade. It is sitting in a cooler on the small table in the tiny house in our backyard. 

  • Home Is The Place

    It's been two years

    Since I moved here

    One year

    Since I called it my home

    Home is the place

    With more dirt roads

    Than paved

    And the dirt roads

    Carry the name

    Of your friend's grandfather
