when the light fades when soulless shade grey stays
when the sun lacks lamp shiny bright vigorous life heat
when the body is cast down in black gloom defeat beat
...
glass breaks in cobweb fracture splinters
so beautiful like a spiders spun web circle
delicate lines fractures eruption lace surface
...
lost in stray mist fog romance
no direction fog mist endless
lost unsure where here is
lost unsure where home is
...
I give gift smiles
sparkling radiant smiles
trade smiles gift given
for those with tears
...
there is a well trodden path
leading to the road
to disappointment...
...
waking to the tragedy of school boy weekdays
waking slow reluctant to face school days dragging;
stumbling through the week until happy turn time
Friday night spirits soaring from school to home
...
You may not need me now,
not tomorrow, maybe not ever.
But even if for just an instant
you feel alone, remember
...
we should gather together with love
we should gather with appreciation
we should gather with thanksgiving
when we sit down to enjoy a family meal
...
it is not important
what other people think
or say about your poetry
...
cold winter inaction
emotional minds must wait
for breath of spring
when in nature sap rises
...
