Really Matters
Just when the hours were no longer fitting into each day. And many nights found me weeping, head in my hands. Thoughts were reactive and words seemed only for display. All creative energy was emptied just meeting demands. Continue Reading...
The Old Farmer Too
The Old Farmer (2014) The Old Farmer Too On a walk over a hill, alongside a green field, I saw the old farmer again just the other day. He didn’t look up as he walked, his mind worked the list of to-dos without a word to say. The tall strong farmer moves a bit slower now, hunched a bit, but powerful beyond appearance. Generations worked this land, and it always needs the work, just with Continue Reading...
Month of Missing
Must it be that the light which stood for hope and the promise in change, In an instant is obliterated, senselessly by the familiar yet strange? Is there no lucidity in a month of moments ensuring one can share the pain? A luminary is gone, one who would, in time, opponents' favor to gain.

Time for the Sky
How could I have been so busy that I didn't have time for the sky? The setting I seek, to drift, and ponder each and every why. Continue Reading...
The Backbone
How do I sleep, when all my blood, it boils? Watching as all the effort, it goes to spoils. How do I breathe when fire steals the air? When the driven are reduced to despair. How do I feel, when all is gone, slumped alone? The final straw, reducing to rubble, the backbone. How do I cry, there’s no more tears to weep? It seems the reward no longer meets the Continue Reading...
Oh Mother, Thank You
Happy Mother's Day Mom! One night a couple of months ago, I was tired and my mind was overflowing. I needed at least a little downtime and some quiet. I sat alone at my keyboard, and I felt a poem, a rhythm, that I needed to capture. Eventually I turned on some music and I came across this instrumental that I have grown to thoroughly enjoy. To me, this tune playing and the flow of words Continue Reading...
