Balmy morning, refreshing,
This late autumn presence
Calmly settling my soul,
Silent lightening flashing
Suggests winter will not win
Mother Nature’s favor
It waits, illuminating
Like I, searching the sky
For thunder to reassure

The Unkindness of Strangers
For Jerseygal
Garbled words spoken, throat catching
On misspoken promises, the cracks
Splitting depths of belief into memory’s keep
Valued treasure well hidden in a soul
Awaiting discovery under starfish, the corral
Fragile in its protection withstanding
A stranger’s words of unkindness
Exhausted by an onslaught, the unknown
Sources which cannot be quieted as
Wave after wave their chorus plays
In a mind untrained to appreciate its own
Solo, whispering a prayer to the sea
Love
Try
Many have
With words
Expressions to
Give fullness
To that which
Aches, begs
Yearns of
Feeling
Understand
Best Of sentiment
Cannot bestow
Justice true
To a soul
Knowing
Finally
That one of
A lifetime
Another Day’s Gift
Mediocrity unstoppably thus
Sliding through this life desperate for more
Anticipating discovery that
Has not, will not come
Someday’s promise has left without farewell
Its vacancy a silent earthquaking
Destabilizing a soul’s wish for more
Than comme si comme ca
Blinking good morning to another day
Thought’s purpose anchored in last night’s dream
Belief created in spirit’s whimsy
Gives hope’s effort life
