outside my bedroom window.
I look at it in the early morning ---
there are dew drops dangling from its graceful tendrils.
They dazzle in the new day's light . . . more

An old dusty path,
Lies the end of all things known.
Still stone and earth . . . more

The row of silence
Strikes the aisles
The harmless violence
Of empty smiles
Of furrowed brows
Of pushing plows
Of stony eyes
Of servant skies
Their life is one of labor
The light seems . . . more

For the weight was just too much to bear.
The trials of life had burdened him down
And trapped him in gloom and despair.
The dreams of his youth . . . more

Its branches bend and twist.
Its leaves are whispering with glee
Its hallow makes a whistle.
A little river under the tree

something simple between two people
that once shared so much more,

Forgotten
Waiting
By the window

No walls on which to lean
The air has lost all warmth
Its chill wraps me
Cold. . . . more
