Perpetual

~

Winters cast shadows on white.

Spring returns with glowing light.

Summer answers floras call.

Then must we all – rise to fall.

Future Steps

*

Please stand with me on this well-worn street

We can ponder the many perpetual feet

Walk with me please on a path well known

We’ll bask in its beauty with others alone

*

Please run with me to distant lands

Leaving our souls in warm wet sands

Then leap with me over oceans vast

We’ll discover our future in the past

*

Please sit with me in this quiet place

We’ll etch in our minds each other’s face

Come lie with me atop the cool lush grass

Forever watching clouds and starlight pass

*

Share with me moments the clock hands can’t reach

The wisdom of time we will learn and teach

Wear with me please a simple band of ore

So we may wander together evermore

Winded

~

Tis the wind that taps my glass

I close my eyes with hope to pass

Tis the wind beats on my door

I cower and cover till no more

~

Tis the wind that haunts my home

Forever it lurks where I roam

Tis the wind rattles my brain

Run do I, none to gain

~

Tis the wind wherever I go

Till ash is I then to follow

Tis this wind shall set me free

Scattered safely I will be

Night Lights

Babies bring us joy

Our hope for a future bright

Sharing sleepless nights

Depressing

A mighty oak fell

Centuries go unnoticed

Roots of time will tell

Idiot Savant

My goal’s now halfway.

I write in rhyme all the time.

Nothing’s good to say.

Servants & Waiters

Await sunny skies

Awaiting truth that’s a lie

All’s waiting to die

Call to Senses

For those who listen

Nature’s voice beckons sunrise

New day dew glistens

Dots to Dash

When dominoes fall

patterns arrange, something’s gone

while something is made

Read a bio by

a nymphomaniac cow –

It was full of bull

Stone Cold Memories

~

Pebbles skipped, rings rise

Waves wander to greet the skies

Pebble’s lost, what is gained?

Unwinding

Traveling through time

Searching for the perfect rhyme

Seconds tick, hours chime

One Life Stand

To hatch, toil and feed

Dangers lurk, survivors breed

Spawning death, life freed

No Strings Attached

Often a fine line

separates arrogance from

insecurity

Inevitable Surprise

Early morning chill

tweets subside with fallen leaf

Summers’ fall, Falls’ rise

Up and Away

Sunrise awakens

dreams put to rest, minds wander

another days quest

Exercising Imagination

Took a walk on the

wild side and ran with the bulls,

limped home, crawled to bed

Static & Dynamic Duo

Please, riddle me this –

Batman, why’s Robins eggs blue?

It’s because of you!

As Goes the Duck

What eats like a bug

and flies like a bug, yet not?

It’s a humming-bird.

Sun Awakens

Victorious star the moons plight

Peaking from the blanket of night

Blank sheets warmly beckon askew

Water boils, beans grind, minds brew

Sheets fill blank to dark with light

*

Air surrounds all with bright

Life returns to deadened street

Sound returns to lively feet

Sun awakens to night’s sleep

Darkness shallow, day is deep

The Fall

A leafless tree is

still a tree, a treeless leaf’s

but fallen beauty

Motions

On a bridge, clouds float,

Waters run reflecting life

Whilst lookers stand still
