Misfits
Many in life
Fall out of grace
Simply because
They speak out of place.
They say the wrong thing
At the wrong time
It seems that they do it
All of the time.
They are always
For this
Or against it
When others disagree
They rage in a fit.
Never satisfied with anything
Being said or done
When joining a conversation
Others all run.

Autumn has arrived.
Trees decked out in Joseph’s coat
Reds, yellows, orange, rust, green
And every hue in between.
Leaves dancing and fluttering in the wind
Drop to earth
In a dizzy spin.
This wonderful display
Is short lived.
Winters winds will soon move in,
Earth takes on a
Different glow
With the arrival of first white snow.
Bundle up and brave the cold
Use both hands
Your hat to [...]

Fantasize
Let your thoughts go wild
Bring back your memories,
Your thoughts as a child.
Ride the range on a bucking bronc’
Drive a race car at Daytona Park.
Climb snow covered mount Kilimanjaro.
Fly high aloft in a gas filled balloon
Going higher and higher almost touching the moon.
Sail the seas in a four mast schooner
Circling the earth, catching large tuna.
Ride a [...]

Fortunate
Have you ever considered?
How fortunate you are
To gaze at the sky
And see a star,
And say to yourself
I wonder how many there are?
To walk through a garden
And smell the rose.
Skip through dewy grass
In your bare feet and toes
Before the sun arose?
Take long walks on
A crisp fall day.
Build a snowman
On a cold wintry night
Giving him eyes of [...]

BANG
To watch a sunrise
And then see it set
In this harried life
It’s as good as it gets
God must know
The pleasure it bestows
To all His children
He created here below.
There are many
Who say
There’s no God
To whom we do pray
And without Him
Our surroundings
Would be here anyway,
Because
Worlds collided
There was a big bang
And from the din
And confusion
This wonderment sprang.
How utterly ridiculous
It [...]

Can you hear my voice calling in the night
Do you see the tears I cry till the morning’s light
I long to tell you all that is in my heart
Yet I fear I don’t know where to start
And so I sit back as you walk on by
Never saying a word or even try
I watch you walk [...]

I hear a heartfelt sob deep within my soul,
It touches me in such a way, yet for why I don’t really know
I pondered on the reason why this sound has come to me
As I think of all that had past and worry of what is to be
My mother the earth weeps for all that has [...]

Have I said too much
Have I caused you to go
I sit here and long for your gentle touch
And the warmth of the love I had come to know
If I could turn back to the time
When you were here with me
I’d change it all in a heart beat
And hold on to that moment for an [...]

Oh my children can’t you see what you have done
When will you see the path you are on will destroy everyone
Have you closed your eyes to all around you
Do you not see that we will loose not only the past and present but the future too
The earth cries out to me with all the suffering [...]

We are told
Earth is eons old.
But
The world
As we know it is
Just about through.
Fossil fuels
Are doing it in
Earths atmosphere
Is growing thin.
Smog and green house gasses
are the reason why
However, cures are rather shy.
Temperatures on the rise
Antarcticas glaciers
On the demise.
Polar bears
Disappearing fast
Without ice
They cannot last.
The question asked
What to do
Without world’s intervention
There is no clue
