The sadness will last forever
The loneliness will last too

Tonight the sky turned yellow
Then black through deepest blue

Catastrophe conditions
Basketball i knew

My sons sun far from me
Seattle rendezvous.

Thomas W Case
I watch life float by
like a dragonfly
riding the breeze.
I need to seize the
current like a
brick of gold,
soar ever upward,
above the swamps,
and dead lilies.
Transcendent light blinds
temporarily, but it's
necessary for new sight,
and stronger wings.

My Dear Poet
One flick
of a matchstick
I light you up

One blow
at a candle glow
off you go

One glitch
of a light switch
you flicker
      off
on
      off
on

One snap
of a mouse trap

Gone
Beware
I've finally come undone
   the whole crazy orchestra
   plays frenzied on the sun.
   I stare hard to see them
   in the blinding light of
   noon finally seeing truth.

The steps of dailiness
Are steps down Franklin Street

Bus rides and basketball
Students too to meet

Be strong my anxious heart
Be quick my weary feet

Do your best before you rest
No surrender. No retreat.
