How to become a poet:
Let someone rip your soul apart.
And in the need of mending ,
You will replace it with words.

still and quiet nights
words come in stifling cascades
borne of sky and stars


.
A shiny stone washed up onto a beach
So easy to discover and enjoy.
A crystal hewn from deepest mine
So valuable but hard to win.
I think I’ll choose the sea-washed stone
And leave the digging to the miners.

A study in values? Or just a scribble?
I am in a land rich with growth
orchids and flowers beyond imagining
blue waters beckon
me to float upon them
and gulp refreshment and life.
I am planted in this land
humbly gathering in light
and smiling
with a peace
flowing in a mighty sparkling river
flooding my soul.
Love entitled
hate defaults
—buying back the time
