I won’t ask you for your forgiveness
I don’t trust myself to do it differently, if I had it
It is your blessing that I seek
Would you give it to me
Knowing that I lived my life
Without a regard for yours
And it’s only now that you occupy my thoughts
I long to see you again
And I thought about doing it
Every now and then
But, mother, you see
Ought to be spared the pain
Of having to outlive a second son
Until then…
I will keep the necklace they gave me close to my heart
There is a part of you inside the capsule, that hangs
It’s so small
I can hold you in the palm of my hand, big brother

To the one who should hear it
Yet hardly ever does
The world is grateful for all your love
You who give
Give more
…
And then some

When the birds chirp from their high trees
When the last drop from the Keurig falls
When the distant engine in the sky fades
When the neighborhood dog sings a song
When the food smells like a holiday
When the breeze is gentle enough to tickle
When the sun tip toes over the horizon
When the hour is young before the day

Life is more cruel than death
Any moment may be our last
Some will go rudely taken
Other’s, to sleep and never to awaken
The how, we fear, is all the same
Yet death is in its finality, kind
For we shall spend more time with death
Than that of the cruelty of life

What does a heart do, if not
Unto its latest hour and trial,
When soon it shall forever dream
But loveth in all the moment thee.

Every drop of rain has it's own spot:
From the wide and gray sky manifest,
Unto earth's rich bed for a moments rest;
A series of the again, sworn
By an unspoken great knot.

The world is ugly when you're sad.
My lungs near empty are not so glad.
A single breath will buy me time,
Another yet soon I cannot find.
Then, as my body aches
And my face now blue,
I look beyond to comfort you.
Quickly, quickly, for time does wane,
Your sweet smile is but a marvelous thing.
My lungs soon after, merry they'll seem,
For the world is beautiful when you're happy.

The wind will carry my good morning to you;
Clouds may shower some kisses too;
A ray from the sun be it two or three
Shall give warm hugs to you from me.

With drunken flight and silver wings
A bird of blue flew over me,
And though at first her song not heard
She tried to tune a vocal cord.
Yet with struggle seeming much
This puny bird was all but hush
As such a creature graced with voice
She sang to me, so was her choice.

Be alarmed then my dear
There is one whose love's sincere
More so than any other
Shall unto you befold
As a whisper in a quiet crowd
Your eyes will narrow down
To him who alone had stood
With a heart he longed to share
His uncontrollable love for you
