Dreaming of words quietly spoken,
echoes from the two
our hearts made alive
through whispers
in the reflection
of twilight.

Shopping for Hats
I love your rosy lips, your bright smile as you try on different hats My Love,
looking in the mirror, looking to me for a sense of validation.
And if you wear this one My Love, no one will ever see me kissing
your cheek, under the brim.
Yes, you will always be beautiful
to me, with or without
your hat on.
Note: My wife wears hats all the time (except at home) because she needs to, having had cancer twice now.
Yet you will not find a more positive, beautiful person.
Two things keep us going as a couple and separately…….our faith in God…… and our love for each other.
Peace.

It’s Always Good to Fall in Love
In March it’s ok to let your hair get blown all over the place,
tossed by the wind
and to relish a light spring rain,
and then smile as the sun begins to appear,
gently caressing your cheek,
and it’s always good to fall in love
in March, walking together
as the tulips begin their journey of color.
Yes in March, it’s ok,
in fact it’s very good indeed.

The Fire Within
As the embedded becomes visible and the Earth is reborn
we recall our dreams of new life
and the fire within
all that lives.

We Do Bend the Light
In the golden lampstands of our sacrificed dreams
we do bend the light forever
hopeful,
that at least something, some fragment
would live on,
we do want those dreams
to live on,
don’t we?

On Thanksgiving Day
As we prepare our feasts, bake our pies,
give our homes a warm glow
may we always remember
our own lights within
to encourage, to lift up
our neighbors.
May no one
feel alone.
We are not
unconnected.

The Man You Have Called Me to Be
As I get older Lord God, I am more amazed at how good You are to me
and my family. I know this earthly life is but a mist, rolling in
from the ocean, and soon this frame of mine will be
taken away, only to be given a more beautiful presence.
May I always be worthy of being with You,
and may I always be – the man
You have called me to be.
