Remembering calm
Summer’s days upon the grass
No anxieties

Morning Rain
Woke to robin’s call
The cool air calms my spirit
Rain upon the leaves
Oh, such memories!
Many memories
Puppets crafted with delight
Wonders of childhood
A Rainy Seattle Monday
Gray clouds dominate
Moisture flows downwards slowly
Subduing our mood
Deceiving the lonely
Spam is showing me
Feeling intense loneliness
Easy to deceive
Yesterday’s Party
A child-filled yard
Chaos of unbridled joy
Delight fills the air
The old ways
There’s something
To be said for technology
But there’s still beauty
In pen and paper
The deepest victory
Every time we learn
A candle is lit
Against the darkness
Every time we teach
A Sun is lit
Burning that darkness
Depression’s Brutality
Feeling failure
As i lack
The adoration
Of millions
Since i don’t
Possess a legacy
Where the future
Will study my relics,
A sense of reverence
Seeking proximity
To my memory
My fear of death
Oh, my fear of death
Drives me mercilessly
Impatient with time
