Many burning stars light the universe
Their radiance creates inspiration
for the dreams of poets and painters...
Illuminating beyond the constellations
...
In a small town near the lake
I grew as an impressionable child
Everything was easy going
Each day was greeted with a smile
...
Like a pebble on the beach
It could be hastily overlooked…
It is a polished gem within reach
...
Does the downpour
Severely impair?
Wipe your mind clear…
Reveal the glare.
...
Hearing the ringing of the phone
Roused from restful slumber
Outstretched arm seeking…
Numb hand grasping
...
The colors of life come from
Emotions falling into a spectrum
Creating an incredible display
...
The greatest riches are not brash
They are not acquired by vast cash
Often they are subtle and demure
Yet they display the greatest allure
...
A mass of burning gas directs life’s sacred song…
Nature is no amateur when it comes to perfection
Revolving months score the seasons of the year
Shaping lasting images from inspiring reflections
...
A day with gray clouds
Dampens enthusiasm
Thoughts of fun fizzle
...
Moderation is a tip that lets you know
It is the time to refrain and digest slow
If you persist and ignore the caution sign
Excessive speed and greed will draw the line
