Reaching out, going out on a branch
Hard enough to climb the tree
Then to scale the thin chance
Showing the inside of me

Going out on a limb
At such a frightening height
Is daunting romp
On a full moon at midnight

A moment here
A day there
Can evade the best dance
We all know that our dreams
Are a matter of chance

Benounced to none
Yet said to all
Traverse the thin branch
Be scared to fall
Poem about the courage to go for your dreams.
What do I see after
The dream is done
Either the still night
Or the morning sun

What do I want
From my daily life
A happy partner
To be a good wife

What do I wish
For the sky above
A clean earth vision
Built with love

What do I need
For the children I teach
To be a priority
Not a dream out of reach

What can I do
For the world so cruel
Write congress letters
Not elect fools

What is the reason
For humanity
To honor each other
Plant a new seed
A poem pretty close after the shut down due to the virus.
Today has gone ,
we lived it well ,
with all its sorrows ,
we can live to amend .

And so a poem lead to one two and three .
and I said hello .
For now today is over ,
and we must all learn to write again .

And so it’s been four years since I said hello ,
and my poems I write you love to follow me there .
Time  to have another drink
This ruddy boats about to sink
There goes another poem to a bad gateway wonder if it will save this one
Ashes

Her ashes run through your fingers
choking me in her memory
my heart breaks
I bleed tears
silenced
mute
Brevity of catharsis

“Good Morning”
simple act of kindness
common words
draws a smile to many
no deep meaning
absolute transparency
renders a perfect day
I say these words
To utter strangers
whether or not
It is noticed
