Whistle for the pup A call carried by the wind ‘Cross fields and flowers A bark, a giggle Six legs sprint, finding way home A boy and best friend A father smirking Memories flooding, a sigh Of retrospection

Refreshing
A glass of gin calls my nameBeseeching me to sipBy crackling wood asShimmers of moonCatch my eyeMy soulDriftsI sighBeside theWooded lake, lostIn the still of nightWith quiet contentmentRefreshing the busy heart
One Day
Bright eyes, big grin ~That smile, that laugh ~Tiny joker, always happy ~Playing for the crowd ~ Then darkness, deep sorrow ~That frown, those tears ~Melancholy, trudging sorrow ~Longing for the light ~ Keep longing ~Keep searching ~One day hoping ~One day ~The darkness lifting
May Breeze
Curtains sway in a May breeze ~A whiff of lilac and roses ~Swells of young love lap ~Waves kissing grains of sand ~Silk sheets cocoon their embrace ~As morning sun breaks over the sea ~Song of birds stills racing hearts ~Calm, calm, let it be, let it be ~Swaying in a May breeze
Patter of Rain
Patter of rain Drops against glass The old woman sits Rocking her chair Drought gives way to A lake of mud That primordial paste That womb for spring flowers A perennial remembranceOf fast-fading dreamsOf a flower fresh-pluckedOf a dimpled smile onA love long gone
