A balance of hearts Give and take, the dance Lives intertwining Losing selves in dreams’ expanse Hopes, fears, whispered thoughts Laughing, crying, meld to one Hand in hand, the world spins Until the self becomes undone A new life birthed; two become one

Alive and Risen
The dark behind, the light aheadWe wander through the in-betweenListening for whispers in the windOf “Alive and risen” The dark behind, the light aheadWe migrate toward the Land of DawnWith a growing chorus of cheersShouting “Alive and risen!”

God of Sky
Towering swirls in grayish hues Roiling cotton against the blue A drop of rain, a gust of wind Rusty windmill squawks and spins Flash of light, thunder rolls Boy in mother’s arms consoled Torrent gushing, pounding hail Breathe deep, god of sky exhales
You and Me
With velocity Our stars align Bright specks shine Above the city Streets alive With the bustle A chaotic hustle Together we drive Futures colliding Head-on with fate A calendar date Our lives abiding You and me foreverYour hand in mineWe age like wineEnraptured together
Whistle for the Pup
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
