Shades of Nature
Walking westward Along a path Strewn with shades Of Nature I find the rhythm Of my heart Beating With heaviness And joy… Curiosity Do I employ As it calls me to Capture Contrasting Colors Light And Love… One Way Above The blue hue Generously lit To expand Upon a cathedral’s Countenance… Pink, green, and blue…

A Weathered Eye
Weathering the storm Of my human affliction Reasonable needs Mixed with addiction I find my eye Fixed on the Sky Of many happy returns… Has mindfulness Made me resilient To the moments Where I fall from Grace? Where sea salt I taste As down my face Tears I trace Leaving a glistening Trail to my…

Post-op

Perpetual
The twilight Of our lives Together Still lives on Reflected In our offspring Through An electric Screen… Pangs of the past Flash Before Willing eyes As my pen Falters Despite My tries… God, oh God Thank you For my Limited view Into the part I played Displayed In columnar queue… This is “the reality” From…

Gracias
Today I’m trying out Something New To bring “Thank you” Into my view… I hope To hear My voice Meet Everything I think Feel & see With the choice Of Grace Said gratefully… Thank you For the morning Moon Meeting me As you Set westward On the horizon— Large And luminous For me to see…
