The hope you took from her eyes
When you walked away

I went in search of Christmas cards and gift bags. I was saddened by what I did not find. Not one bag with the Christ child, no angels, no Star of Bethlehem, no wise men or shepherds. . . . more

I am from before
Before the earth began
Part of a bigger picture
The Master’s perfect plan.
I am from the want
Of a relationship from which
All time would draw together . . . more

Steam rises up from the over heated ground
As the rain falls down, as the rain falls down
An almost perceptable sigh is heard
As it soaks in, soaks in, all around.
The parched . . . more

I watch, as you make you plots,
As you devise your schemes.
I wonder,
Wonder what it all means.
You smile your plastic smile,
While lies hang in your teeth like rotting meat, . . . more

You are my forever home
Though far and yon I've been,
It doesn't matter where I roam
It's back to you again.
You are my forever port
Though my . . . more

I saw the wind in your in your eyes,
And you saw me see it
So you looked away.
Now I wonder where you've drifted to,
Like a yellow leaf with brown . . . more

Sometimes I think there's not much left
of that smiling face, that eager hopeful love.
Too many years of living
with one bad choice
weighs like a sack of armor, worn in defense, . . . more

There has to be a poem somewhere
about the way the morning sun
paints the trees that perfect shade of pink,
inscribing its rosy signature in a soft blushing sky,
punctuated by tiny flitting . . . more

Not yet day, Not quite dreaming
Lying half awake at 3 a.m.
Listening to circles in the sand
Thoughts of you drift by
My sleepy mind's eye.
And even . . . more

Think mermaids and dolphins
Used to stroll
Hand in Hand
Upon the land?
Think mountains were made

You may think me silly for bringing this up,
I know that the lights should be out,
But if you have just a second
Would you mind looking about?
The bed seems . . . more

When you make it through the fire
And dust off the soot and ash
To find that it's still there,
When you hack through brush and briar
Feeling weary from the dash
To find it . . . more

Menghibahkan was a good mama.
She was young but attentive
And worked hard for her children,
Planting rice and sweet potatoes.
She taught her young ones
To sing the tribal . . . more

Close your eyes
Listen
Here in the leaves
Now in the "whys"
There in the song
Of the sweet sad owl
Near in the hollow
Of a lone wolf's howl

You look, but always fail to see
What there is here.
You’d rather that I let you be,
Head turned, back bent, towards tapping key
Lost in a world I’ve come to fear.
Sadness . . . more

And any chance of children gone with you.
Glad I never wanted any.

Big crash, loud bang, rumble, rumble, rumble
The storm monster is on the way and his stomach is a-grumble.
I hear him getting closer; I know he's on the way
Underneath these covers in my hideout . . . more

Each call fell sharp
Like bits of glass,
So I have . . . more
