    “Eyes Wide” – Poetry

    Heritage replaced with agendas Unvarnished truth replaced with convenience Warmth and joy replaced with icy stares Growth replaced with competitive stagnation The proof, it screams!

    Let us sing the old, old song Of the Love that’s freely given Starbursts glitter!

  • “A Letter To the Foolish” – Poetry

    You treat Their Names with no respect And wonder why honor has left you You steal Their gifts given freely in love And wonder why famine destroys you You betray Their teachings, pervert Their signs And wonder why Tyranny rules you You mock Their images and grace And wonder why crime overwhelms you You burn…

  • Reclined upon a tapestried throne Silence. Contemplation. A tangled web goes ‘round and ‘round Visions of restlessness plague me! As the Weaver Of Destiny Tallies the ties I have lost. A weaver skilled is she Wisdom burning in her myriad eyes The strands so different, yet the same. Why mourn the sacrifice? Where is the…

    “Guide” – Poetry

    Guide me quick, guide me slow Jewels of silence, falling snow. Guide me low, guide me high Empty place where peace abides. Guide me shallow, guide me deep Room of darkness treasure keeps. Guide me hard, guide me soft Crawling turtle, bird aloft. Guide me short, guide me long May your insight keep me strong.…
