Needed inspiration
To lift my spirits, sooo…
God sent a nightingale
To replace the crow.

Looking
Back on youth spent.
Now aged—barely moving
Forward. What’s the next chapter of
His life?

Each day’s
A press.
But do press.
Never look back.
The road may be long,
But press on.

Tornado churning.
Twirling against peaceful skies -
Destructive touchdown.

Huge, red-clay mountains
Tho’ upward extended—find
Base in deep canyons.

Amazing the beauty
In simple things.
A little wildflower,
A ripple’s rings.

The twinkling of a star.
A bright moonbeam.
The babbling of a brook.
Billowing steam.

Simple touch of a hand.
Smile on a face.
The sound of pure laughter.
Some deed, or grace.

Not the grandest splendor,
Nor the abyss—
But for simplicity.
Blink and you’ll miss.

Mount’n range 'gainst light
Blue sky over sweeping lake -
With shaded bedrocks.
