These moments
My awakened fears
Facing them
Calms me
And I
Return
To slumber
poetry, prose, and photography
These moments
My awakened fears
Facing them
Calms me
And I
Return
To slumber
I deeply wish that I should say
As it’s so important on this day
So I’d say it loudly from a truck
I’d even say it with a duck
I’d say it, truly, on the street
I’d say it quietly, even sweet
Boldly say it from the roof
Or at a cafe, like a goof
He’s important, so I”ll let it loose
Happy Birthday, Dr. Suess
By far too quiet
Emotions raw and painful
Empty bed: anguish
Every time
I hear Iz sing
“Over The Rainbow”
I’m filled
With delight
And quiet
Sadness
Perhaps
The quick
kind
word
Can save
a life
Or a
soul
I am my brother’s keeper
Or, at least, so I try
Though difficult
Deeply worthwhile
I look north
At familiar trees
Memories of youthful sorrows
