In this age of rage
Where invective flows freely
Seek this voice of grace

A haiku about seasons, change and a tad bit about love
This flower’s beauty
Transformative and quite brief
New life comes through change
This world burns with negative energy. Fear, distrust and rage so very of this world. I seek yo mollify that. I wonder if, perhaps, through poems and a bit of compassion, maybe I can help humanity grow its connection to itself. I see that as out species’ path to survival.
May each of you always find beauty and joy in life.

Poetry’s PowerÂ
Once I was told
Poetry’s power
Comes from framing
Life so uniquely
That people see
Truths they’re hiding from
Experimenting with using the graphic to separate my prose from the poem. What do you think?
Standing Atop A Mountain: A HaikuÂ
Standing in the wind
Atop a barren mountain
Alone with my dreams
Time to Awaken
Time to awaken
Put my feet upon the floor
Go forth and do things
Come check out my latest project: Forward Facing, where I explore effectiveness, motivation and harnessing positive energy to create a great life.
Smoke on this Evening Breeze
Hot summer’s evening
The scent of smoke alarming
Nothing to fear, right?
Night Gently CallingÂ
Night gently falling
Slumber’s insistent demands
Speaking to me, too
Once I LISTENED to MusicÂ
​No longer
Do I listen deeply
Pulling apart
Words, lyrics
Melody
Harmony
Trying so hard
To embrace
A song’s
Soul
