Summer is here
with tank tops, shorts and a tall cold beer
Days at the beach filled with water and sun
Smells of suntan lotion, jet ski's, boats and fun
...
Hanging clothes to dry out on the line
Going back to the past... to a much simpler time
The sun is beating down, warming up the day
Tractors in the field, bailing up hay
...
I give a gift of glass, because it is most like you
A thing of Beauty through and through
Like you; it can be filled with wondrous things
All of the treasures this life brings
...
TAXI CAB YELLOW, CHARTREUSE AND DARK BLUE
You sit at the bench with your gather and pipe
With all the anticipation of your creations new life
...
I sit in the studio on a hot afternoon
Staring out at Putnam, to the sound of the exhaust fan's tune
Three piece's in the annealer, it has been a good day
I'm on my life's path, I can clearly see the way
...
As I walk through the woods,
I stopped... listened...and just stood.
The air was blowing softly through the trees.
And around the flower's you could hear the bee's.
...
I followed a path through the tree's.
Hoping to lose the world in the forest scented breeze.
Searching for the girl, who I had once left behind.
I had out grown her, and all the play she would find.
...
This morning when I awoke, the house was quiet and still
The sun was just rising, the air had a chill
The birds had started singing, there song high and sweet
My soul was truly quiet as I listened to them tweet
...
Mother is the thing, I'd always wanted to be.
To have a child of my own, Oh what glee
Then the day came, and to me was born a son
It was only the beginning. The journey's just begun
