I spend my time writing poems
and thinking about polar bears.
I ponder on the meaning of 'normal'
and how do you define 'success'.
...
My eyes receive the colour of the day.
My mouth receives the taste of early morning.
The scent of the awakening earth
reminds me of my distress-
...
What's darkest in me
is often that which is most true.
I don't embrace it
but I accept it
...
Nothing much has been happening to me.
Nothing going on.
My life is very quiet, very slow-
but my soul is learning to dance
...
I look at You
and see a reflection of myself
but not only that
within my reflection
...
The world won't notice when we're gone.
Perhaps our pets will miss us
be a bit forlorn
but they'll adjust;
...
Whatever lives inside me
lives inside me
like a discontented bird
flapping its wings
...
I feel joy
It rushes to the palms of my hands
to the soles of my feet-
I feel it in my throat
...
I met an angel
humming lullabies
his hands were full of apples
his heart merely full
...
