To feel bad,
Cause it only hurts me,
While the one who has inflicted the
hurt  doesn't care,
Or isn't  aware of it.
Hear not,
See not,
Speak not,
Return not,
Bliss and peace of mind.

The candle,
Only for yourself,
And your success,
After all it only gives enough ligh5
to find your way.

Eat when you are hungry
and when you’re tired sleep
Stop all the questioning
Life isn’t all that deep

She’s got the look
The image just right,
She’s got the look
Intelligent so bright.
She’s got the look
Heart of gold
She’s got the look
Always hot never cold
She’s got the look
Bucketfuls of humour
She had the look
She died of a
brain tumour

You ask me what you are to me—
but how do I explain
that without you,
the light feels dimmer,
the world quieter,
and I—
less alive?

You are not a chapter.
You are the reason
the story keeps going.

Like a Pool Frog
at a dry river bed.
Like the flow
of a water garden
in the dry season.
I am stilled.
I am struck dumb.
I am Walpoled.

Fatherhood is gratitude
See how they grow
Frederick, Maryland
A little Reno snow

Thai food for dinner
Driving in the rain
Sleep, grateful sleep
