His secrets are preserved for eternity
His portrait is painted onto woven tension
Timeless hues capture qualities of enormity...
years compress into a flattened dimension
...
The intensity
of your smile
heightens
my expectations
...
Strong yet supple branches
are reaching skyward
as a gentle breeze
persuades swaying
...
Someone who was always there
in times of famine and of plenty
The person in my life who cared
Gone forever… my thoughts are many
...
We were playing in the backyard
The sun was shining high in the sky
My family shared the same birthday…
It was weird… don't ask me why
...
Springtime reveals beautiful
new growth as radiant joy flourishes
Instinctively knowing when to revive…
flowers bloom as the rain nourishes
...
The laughter and the wonder of a child
lingers within my aging bones… it's wild
This is what keeps my mind alive
It is what gives me incentive to survive
...
Streets are washed
with cool lustrous rain...
reflecting lamp globes
of limited luminescence
...
Give me the curiosity of a child
born new…enthusiastically beguiled
with no previous cerebral constraints
full of wonder… with no complaints
...
