I don't have a my people
Just have my sons
In my solitude
Taipei 101

The road goes ever on
Only just begun
With my 3, let it be
Un pequito fun

Please peace for my son
Happiness. A joy all his own.
                  Hope.

Unease. Disquiet. Anxiety.
     Please leave me be
                 Plea

Anxious. Legs bouncing. Uneasy.

I can't find what I'm looking for
                Lay in bed
                   Lonely

I can't get over the rain tonight
With me as I drive
55 and falling
But grateful to be alive

                  I've ...

The rain is in my soul
   Misty, grey, green
           Mountains

too geeky shy
ain't her kinda guy
          sigh ...

Rainy night
   Sadness
    Susan

No one important
Just as well
Bullet trains
Ishmael

                 hoping ...

rain on my drive home
rain in my soul
a little quietness
a little rock n' roll

no one important
midnight's broken toll
i sometimes wonder
if she could make me whole

rain came down came rain
take a little stroll
i'm alone again
dailiness is my goal

         Goooooooooal!

I try to contain my worst self
Keep him on a chain
I'd like my best self to venture forth
Ride the bullet train

Misty grey tonight
Hey ** the wind and the rain
A little hot chocolate
And I'm alone again

                  Writing ...

I like those European trains
Speeding through the night
The Old Man and the Sea
Gatsby's green light

Hey ** the wind and the rain
My beloved sons
A little poetry
When the Day is Done

           Y un pequito fun

Rain again today
I like the misty fog
San Francisco. Baltimore.
Ireland. Seattle.

Just dailiness
No grand plans
No elevation
No battle

                    Rain

Talked to my son today
Gracias xie xie
Keep him right on track
Video games to play

Mother Mary May
Basketball hey hey
ACDC Back in Black
But silent is the Way

        No nay never nay

Dost thou call me fool, boy?

All thy other titles thou hast given away.
That thou wast born with.

Moon glow above my house
      Walking from my car
                  Floating

Stockholm to Helsinki
Just one afternoon
Lovely Lutheran Cathedral
Summer coming soon

South Riding, Virginia
In our kitchen Flaming June
Basketball with my middle son
He's the one who read Dune.

Taught Robert Frost to the tweens
Read them Things Not Seen
Fr. Greeley was kind to me
Billy Graham was mean

I miss basketball
I play for my team
Meister Eckhart's Without a Why
Rabbi Nahman's silent scream

Buried so deep
Excavating
Traveling the world
Waiting. Waiting.

Ice and snow
Vienna. Chicago.
Cordelia not King Lear
Othello not Iago

            Staunton!

Dr. Thomas was quite charming
And funny. And courteous too
Gratitude for him
Gratitude for JMU

                  And for Camus

Ireland was misty grey
Cliffs of Moher one afternoon
Fr. Greeley was Chicago
South Korea was Dr. Yoon

I am growing older
Might rewatch Dune
Politics Portends
Trouble coming soon

                  Migrants!

Dublin post office
              Bus
                Us

Dr. Thomas was my teacher
He had the Southern charm
My boys are growing older
Keep them safe from harm

I like Irish music
Bono and U2
My Irish eyes are green
But I'm Carolina blue

                    And you?

Just a few months in Ireland
Rode the Dublin bus
After my dad dies
What will become of us?

One son works at a wedding place
One at a grocery store
I work washing dishes
Gonna wash some more

California snow
Tahoe - beauty sight
She slips, she slips away
Gatsby's green light

                     Alright.

the mystery of race
the beauty of her face
     aliens in space?

Just one of the people
No longer a teacher
Vegetarian burritos
A little won ton soup

Not in the best health
Diabetes and a sweet tooth
Gout. Bipolar.
Trouble with myself

A love of traveling
European history
Daily getting by
Movies. Yes, I like.

Not too many friends
Call my beloved sons
Politics Portends
Sleeping late and long

       Springsteen song

I'm glad she called me vulnerable
I suppose that it's the truth
1987
Still haunted by my youth

2024
Try to carry on
Facebook. Hello Poetry.
Scifi Gamla Stan

                 Forward!

Didn't do too well in Chicago
But I'm grateful for the song
Easier at Mason
Mr. Harry Wong

I'm tired all the time
Lonely as the rain
My son and I in DC
We take the Metro train

         I can't explain

European history
Asian bullet trains
Father Greeley's mysteries
Man of La Mancha, Spain

Susan Darlene Meek
A diamond in the rough
Just one kiss
That would be enough

                      Ole!

I didn't become a professor
Didn't get the PhD
Now I live alone
Please protection for my 3

In my solitude
I live quietly
Exoplanets spin
Perhaps a cosmic sea

                  Perhaps we...

He says God is spontaneous goodness
Like Eckhart, Without a Why
At 55 still frightened
Frightened still to die

Life is suffering
And precious. Parlez Vous?
Buddhamind in Bangkok
Buddhamind not-two

                Sophia U.

I'm no one important
I'll die, I'll die unknown
Tried to do my best
Threw a Rolling Stone

Never gave a lecture
Never wrote a book
No nay never never
Never caught by Captain Hook

                     Gadzooks!

Once I was a teacher
Tried to do my best
Now I just wash dishes
Qualyxian the Quest

                 Yes.

Kamakura snow
In Dublin meant to be
Helsinki to Stockholm
Beauty Baltic Sea

Lonely, lonely nights
Please protect my 3
Silent is the Way
Silent - xie xie ni

I'm an amateur poet
And a bipolar dad
Beauty Baltic Sea
Best time we ever had

Then along came Cam
Golden hearted child
Gracias xie xie
O so meek and mild

Courage going forward
Courage unto the end
The silence is eternal
Silence be my friend

               Pretend.

So much isolation!
Nights and days on my own
Take my medication
Write on my cell phone

Reach out to my sons
Reach out to my dad
My beloved, beloved ones
Sweet Sir Galahad

Ms. Meek, Ms. Meek
I'm a board game geek
Would like to kiss you
8 days a week
My Castle's high
My table's teak
It's true it's you
The one I seek!

I keep on writing, keep on writing
Keep on writing through
Me reading alone
Alone at Seattle U.

The skull beneath the skin
Pondicherry Zoo
Always to begin
Horton Hears a Who

                  me too

Michael Clayton, horses and breath
         Arthur Edens reversaleth
       I am Shiva the God of Death!

...Michael Clayton...
  horses and breath
         summons

I've seen the Mediterranean
Walked the beach in Nice
Honeymoon in Paris
Marriage in misery

Life goes on until it doesn't
I like Michael Clayton
eine kleine nachtmusik
Sting and the Police

Don't like David Brooks
What a pompous ***!
American Decline
In Dublin meant to be

When the Day is Done
Un pequito fun
Viva Mexico!
Viva you and me

                   Si.

Unsure of my life's meaning
                    If any

           struggling through

                  courage!
