I rise to greet the dawn

distracting my heart

I take a sip of dark roast

and exhale

today I will

just breathe

Truth…
the first casualty
of war

Love…
the last casualty
of truth

Traveler
Things I can't remember
And things that never happened
Are stored in the same location
  I forget where...
Traveler Tim
Many emotions
Lack of solutions
The hurt and pain
Caused by you or to you
Shrouded in mystery
The pain never alone
Whom to please
Yourself or others?
What’s understood
And not
It’s no more important
Leaf out of the crowd
To the lake, a breath of fresh air
Is all it takes
To ease out the nerves
Drift  to a place of calm
peace and solitude
Within
And around
Just writing away

Be somebody’s hero,
give more than you get

Reach for something bigger,
cast a wider net

Be somebody’s hero,
your name to live beyond

The casket and the headstone
—your memory left in song

(Villanova Pennsylvania: September, 2019)
