The Many Reasons to Love

Nature Poem

Love the trees
…for who they are

Love the flowers
…for they set us free

Love the birds nesting in treetops
…for they teach us to find home
in the higher part of ourselves

Love the sunset
…for reminding us life is a gift
we must give back
to keep it going

life’s comings and goings

Death and Dying Poems

her mom’s very old
she calls her
hoping the guilt will die
not her mother

the sun rises without reason in one moment
and sets without remorse in the next
sooner or later we all end
as suddenly as we began

Haiku Poetry

in the moment

Wishful Thinking 2011

Uncategorized

Seems so foreign to me
Another country, maybe
Some strange place
Where we wait
For the nightmare to end
Always hoping–to find ourselves
In some gentler place
Where wretched memories pale to laughter
Where the years ahead
Outnumber those behind us
