Small How small and insignificant I feelAs the waves lap the shoreIn my mind I escape to a place whereMy thoughts have never gone before Would this mighty sea swallow me?In one fierce and furious gushOr kiss my feet with a gentleness That I may hear the earth’s hush Its energy coursing through my veinsSafe from harm, yetContinue reading “Poem of the Month – July 2019 – Small”

What If?
What If? If the sky cracked openand I was swallowed upWould you miss me?If the moon one nightrefused to shine its lightCould you still see me? If the coast was swallowed by an angry ocean’s ragewould you care?If all the fabled storiesof Aesop were burnedWould that be fair? If one day I floatedaway like a balloonWould run afterContinue reading “What If?”
Unity

Rendezvous
Rendezvous Lightly falling rain soaking her hair Excited she moved quickly Anticipating Feeling the chill of the night air Branches hanging low snagging her dress Oblivious to the elements Extremities turning numb Her zealous thoughts she could not repress Sheltering under the trees he saw her running toward him In all her beauty even disheveledContinue reading “Rendezvous”

I am the status quo My temperament even Contained and rarely sad or angry Life is too short for either I rationalize the ups and downs of my life Easily, effortlessly and with thought for others This is who I have learned to be When your sweet soul gets lost in your indignation The darkContinue reading “Questioning Myself”

Again – Poem of the Month – March 2018
