I have been away from the world of words
But words never do leave
Shadows to keep
From East to West
Visible or not, play of light
Dawn to dusk, forever to believe
In words and world of words
see newborn green trees
smiling sunny landscapes bloom
colorful flowers

Lovely spring day.

With the first breath,
         a Cry!
     With the last breath,
            a Sigh.
         With all in between,
                  a Why?

How many day ones
Does it take to change a lightbulb?

My Dear Poet
I can never promise
          
             to never hurt you

but I can vow

             to never leave you

and live my life in such a way
        
              that you will hurt

to not stay
Two simple words
Have doomed Mother Earth:
“Plastic” and “Disposable”.
Two other words
Have sealed that fate:
“Slovenly” and “Uncaring”.

It's true..so sadly true.
I’m so tired I could drop
But I mustn’t go to sleep.
Vicious dreams are hiding
Just behind my pillowcase,
Waiting for the perfect time
To tell me I’m inadequate
And guilty of egregious sins
That doom my frantic efforts
To create a perfect life
And move across humanity
In ways that make things better.

My dreams are my worst enemy.
