Earliest MemoryFour years old and short of breath, / in a tented bed at the end of the ward, / the terror of separation in check only

Love's Euphony*A poet enjoys writing no less than a bird enjoys the vast delphinium blue* / *That haven within the heart harkening unto love's creative whispers ~ You* / *I have nothing in mind, therefore, no idea what will fall upon the page*

The Rhythm of Her SacrificeThe market roared, a sea of voices, / dust clinging to her weary face— / a lone star against an unyielding sky.

Three Poems and Songs with links (free) in honor of Memorial DayMemorial Day Message / I created three songs in honor of Memorial Day (May 25). Two were created from my previously published poems. The third was created specifically in honor of our fallen heroes for Memorial Day. I hope they may bring some comfort both to all who served or are currently serving in uniform, and to the Gold Star families whose loved ones never came back home, fighting for their families, their comrades in arms, and the country they loved. Heroes all. May God Bless them and their families who share in their sacrifice. / All three songs are accessible free of charge without having to register or provide any information at the links below. The Lyrics are also printed below. Feel free to share the links with anyone you think may enjoy them, and especially for active duty and retired military and their Gold Star Families. The debt we owe them is one we can never fully repay. Never forget them. If able, please also consider donating time or money to organizations that support our fallen and injured heroes and their families.
