In a wider wonder

In a wider wonder

The questions are flooding

And in this Overwhelm

No fruit and all budding

Back to the thinner line

So hard to walk narrow

Reaching for ideals and

Aiming high the arrow

Staring at the eclipse

Staring at the eclipse

The moon can’t fully block

No warmth and no light just

A dark side and some rock

In a brief film noir

The city lights are fooled 

It took me years but now

I am completely schooled

Each day life opens up

Each day life opens up

Be it mountain or plain

Are we not together 

From hectic to mundane

For fireworks and rainfalls

Watching sparrows make nest

Will the red tanagers

Pass through this year for rest

And so what is the worth

And so what is the worth

If profound should be found

Personal victory

Still silent in the sound

And so the ribbon breaks

With no one in the stands

Pure gratification 

The run-on sentence and’s

In a gray April rain

In a gray April rain

On a road heading east

Crossroads bridge above us

No cloud breaks in the least

Cocooning in clothing

Yet, still a holiday

Momentum of moments

What else is there to say

My compassionate heart

My compassionate heart

It came with forgiveness 

The harshness hammered out

Between us, an isthmus 

Sorry for your sadness

And for such a hard blow

What is lost forever

Just wanted you to know

On a red clover bloom

On a red clover bloom

My wings up in prayer

On the foot of a hill

Somewhere in a nowhere

Like a gravestone where time

Has worn away the name

A shout without echo

Unrecorded exclaim
