One Saturday evening, down the window I was seeing,
Up came her call, down the bed was I about to fall.
My heart started ringing like a bell;
Picked up the phone and amused of what to tell.
Down came her offer, and she didn’t have a chauffer,
She wants to go out with me,
Clogging my mind were thoughts of [...]

It was early in December,
They had gathered out of fear,
As the bombs were falling ’round them, cries of terror filled each ear,
And they saw the buildings falling,
And they watched the people die,
And they heard the women screaming and they saw the children cry.
As the skies were turning hazy,
With the smoke of blast and fire,
They were [...]

A- bomb absent to God
present star’s floating light.
Back-cross wears nothing
naked to silence.
Cemeteries count the dead.
Ready for civilization.
Clamshells for bullets.
Masks made from cedar dome.
Draft- horse mermaids polishing
shoes, silver in their eyes.

Exposed butterflies.
Rainbows echo.
Countless earth bares
free life.
Frantic life.

Judging colors.

Recollect intermission.
Follow inner dreams.
Ravish shade.
Straddle the night’s stone.
Blind motionless sun.
Glazier angels glued.
Glossily disfigured shadows.

Angry winds
Blew through the trees
Snapping branches
Scattering leaves.
The toppling oak
Majestic and high
No match
For the fierce winds
That roared from the sky.
Flattening all that stood in its path
Nothing left standing
In the way of storms wrath.
Man ponders and tries
To reason why
Such anger and destruction
Rains from the Gods on high.
Everything in life has a reason
Our compassionate God
Tires of man’s treason.

I went for a walk, as I did each morn,
I picked up the mail which was always the norm,
A letter, a bill and two lousy flyers,
One for insurance and one selling tires.
Nothing seemed special, all was the same,
I looked a bit closer and saw something strange,
A black and white envelope there in the rack,
I scooped [...]

“True story. Paul was a familiar character in the Okanagan Valley of British Columbia in the 1970’s. I saw him many times walking the highway between the lakes. One day I gave him a ride.”
See the man walking down the highway.
He wears only ragged shorts and worn-out shoes.
His hair is long and stringy,
His skin is [...]

July Fourth
Marching bands
Um pa pa.
Kids on bikes
Ooh la la.
Fire engines clanging
Oh ma ma.
Politicians waving
Playing the crowd.
Sweating marchers
Puffing aloud.
Is this what it is
All about?
Is this the reason
We all shout?
Nothing meantioned
About the men who bled,
Or of those who lie dead.
These are the ones
We should honor today.
These are the ones who
Paved the way.
They paid the price
For our liberty,

Leave me now.
No pain or sorrow.
Better now,
before tomorrow.
Express no words.
Better not say,
for words betray.
Each lie causes my heart to frey,
torn apart in pure decay.
Rather hear no words at all now,
Silence is my only sound.

Does anything in this earth, ever perish?
And disappear into nothingness and void?
A leaf, a life, a flower, a song, a rainbow!
A tree, a leaf, or a flower, when it withers
The good earth receives it with pleasure.
It dissolves with the mud, in its source.
The roots take away the substances,
And bring them back to life.
The remnants of [...]
