The heat caused steam to rise from the sidewalks, as I waited that August 4th 1988
I rub my pregnant belly and wipe my brow
You are still inside of me, heavy but still
I . . .

Voices joined
Whirl in my head
Pain abounds
Flowing in the wind
No joy here
Chaos in its stead
Close my eyes
Feel darkness
Closing . . .

I went down to the water
The moon my only companion
There to guide me, easily
My only thoughts were of you
Time, moments, feelings
Things we . . .

My only child is 17 and a half today.
Turn back the clock, is there any way?
"6 months til I'm legal ma!" What can I say.
She wants to grow up so fast, the gaul! . . .

As we walk through darkness
in a gesture of love, he will forgive
us for all our sins.

Pay the bills
Do the shopping
Cleaning
Laundry
Feed the dogs
And the cats
Pick up poop
I don't think so
The pool is green

I can feel the Earth move
Blackness glowing with stars
Swirling just out of reach
It doesn't seem real
What is the reason?
Magic

Who invited this clown?
I don't recall sending an invitation
Yet here he is
Pain in the rearend
Someone escort him out
And tell him to take his vile friends with him
To include chemo, . . .

If I walked
through burning sand
and rocky stone
barefoot and alone -
If I walked
through icy tundra
and winter storm
naked as my birth -
If I walked
through my pain
and did . . .

Time changes everything
I sat on this rock for fifty years and watched the world around me change.
I watched the laid back ways of life switch off for the oh-so-common hustle bustle of life today.
I watched . . .

FOOL OR SAGE
Life comes but once to all
Whether fool or sage
It matters less how long
Than what you filled the days.
A gift unto itself . . .

In my desperation Lord I cried out to you
Will you hear me or turn me away
With a heart so heavy and full of pain
I have often wondered what you could possibly see in me
All my life I’ve been . . .

A flower breathes
Through earth it fought
It journeys though the soil
To greet the day
It makes friends with the air
The sun it cherishes
It worships the clouds
For they love this flower
And feed it with . . .

Love
On the island of flowers
This day of spring
Frisky butterflies on heat
Sumptuous wings
Free spirits
In tender moments
Of absolute bliss
Bonding in secret places of
Beauty . . .

I want to go home. I have been here long enough. I want to be back to where I belong. I have done all I set out to do. I had my time in the fun and the sun. I got a well needed break. I have no complaints . . .

Padding down the hallway for a midnight drink.
Settling old bones back down on bed for arthritic pets.
Silence has replaced you; now..we grieve and miss you old friend~

It's well to know what is right and what is wrong
choosing this what is good to you
occasionally just the moment through
but even if you know
that something is just an illusion . . .

I found you once
For a short time
A love complete
But fractured
Emotions swirl
Love drowns
Our life
An ebb and tide

It is a cold and lonely day
Nothing seems to go my way
Snow, please melt quick
I don't want it to stick
The family car is buried deep
My mother is starting to weep
My ears are cold, my lips are . . .

Will you love me enough to leave when i ask you to
You say you can deal with my disease, my eventual confinement
You say you will always love me more than the grains of sand
Yet the band is playing . . .
