new life starts to grow
in sediment of old floods
no rain no rainbow

lights to recall you
solemn flames dancing on whispers
scenes of you, linger
fires flicker as angels dance
candles lit in remembrance

ding **** cart
rockets and popups
free delivery

there’s hope
all alone
crying

here’s pain
so adorned
laughing

where’s peace
still around
waiting

that’s hate
in shadows
snarling

and love
still wishing
for some

no thinking allowed
big brother dictating thought
Orwell understood

Cannot turn away
magical that way,  they lure
My imagination, awake

What do I believe and
why it annoys you so
Why do I believe and
what annoys you so

When will you believe and
Where should mine go for
Where you do believe is
When your roots will grow

Let's agree to live and let be
I will love you and you love me
Let me love my God
and we can all live in peace

I believe in the words of that man
I believe in the life of that man
I believe in the death of that man
I believe he is coming again

If forever is never
And I never stopped loving you
Then I love you forever

Angel dropped her sash
Pink, floating , engines roaring
The day, just starting

Birdwell Beach Britches
sitting dockside, toes cooling
new Petty playing

sun soaked shoulders burn
under sky high heat beating down
cane pole cork bobbing

toe heads gone platinum
summers on Lolly's creek pier
Pawley's Island Home

Time speeding up, every second, faster
Barreling at break neck speed , recklessly
Unavoidably spiraling out of control

Imperfections make beauty
Like an ideally placed dimple
on your perfecty dimpled face

Aging moms frantic calls
The sun peeks in going by
The chair rocking soothes me

autumn leaves
birch trees
****

If words could ****, yours would have buried me.

I tried to protect you
from the heartless, dangerous
to sweet souls like you
turned me into the monster
I became, I was, I changed

turtle eggs waiting
for the signal to begin
terrapin station

Red stains on my back
dangerous passion, scars me,
same sharp clawed woman
ripping, tearing, and mending
this fragile, sensitive heart

goodbye angel
taking earths light away
as darkness descends

Steel Wheels Eighty Six
****’s head in a mushroom cloud
light dreams riding home

sun bleached and wind stripped
Mans ill intent, sand blasted
Blinded  eyes tearing

When your mind is closing in  
with the fears of any day.
A moment is required
to continue on your way.

When your body decides to quit
from the weight that you choose to bare.
A moment is required
to consider what is fair.

When your heart is aching
from all it's breaking
and you just can't go on.
A moment is required
to remember God's only son.

To put it all in perspective
and decide on a whole new look.
Take a required moment
to turn the page or maybe
try a whole new book

Hot tin roof rain dance
Mile long waves crashing in
Water rocks me asleep

peaceful spring meadow
warming sunshine embraces
heavenly earth

saw you this morning
glancing bright vanity light
you, laughing, crying,
smiling, eyes dancing across
featureless mercury face

Galloping down the beach
Crashing waves startles me awake
It’s  Chance the pup chasing a wind blown leaf

snow falls slow
gently from above
soothing thoughts

Low flying full clouds
Heavy down filled layered
Snuggled in safe warm
