I know all that I need
to manage my pain.
You have the cure.
Would you knowingly
keep it from me?
To be part of something
bigger than the pain
to show our people
refrain to say ‘no’
To laugh, sing, cry,
to bring relief is
- to know.
loyalty
Nature
He can change hearts
even yours..
We reproduce ourselves
as we touch those around us
what seed do we sow?
If we land on fertile ground
will it turn bare and fallow?

My sole one
You fit me
Like an old shoe
Been resoled, shined
Renewed
Who is wearing who?
Strung out to dry
Hopes are high.
Wellspring
Our lives are like a bottomless well
From which I yield buckets of
Inspiration.
I would never utter an unkind word
For fear of poisoning the source
My only hope is that I give
As much in return
Or at least not run it dry
For if I did
I would humbly say
Goodbye.

Pre-tense
“Can-do person”
less and less soon
just a person
will that do?
will I lose all
but the real ones
the few and far between?
who call the very minute
and hour of need
no matter how long it’s been..
so long
