In the Dark of the Night
It really doesn't matter
How much snow is on the ground
Or how deep the frost has penetrated
...
There is an enchantment in the Killing Frost
It's the most magical night of the year
When the abundant blooms of Summer
Are put to sleep by Frost's frozen tears.
...
Today is the Very First Day
The Very First Day of the Very First Year
The Very First Year of a New
And Very long awaited Decade.

The Hay Meadow Creek divides my Parent's land
Its waters run clear and true
It then flows into the Prairie
Along untended Lincoln County lands.
...
Eyes are large and bright
They shine brightly in the night
I hear them calling.
...
My life has been a tapestry
Woven of thick and thin.
Friends and Lovers and Children
All are threaded in.
...
Fireflies, fireflies
Do you fly for me?
Do your illuminations hold
Some promise of things to be?
...
The Poet always weaves his thoughts
With the finest needle and thread
Each word carefully placed
Intricately woven, carefully chosen
...
Hanging on by a thread
I lie quietly in my bed...
Wondering where will I be tomorrow...
...
I had a Dream...
that I walked
with my hands in the grasses...
and the Bluebird of Happiness
