Everyday retracing

Everyday retracing
Steps from the day before
I could be blindfolded
And figure eight the floor

Circle after circle
Caught in a spirograph
Designed like a compass
Fixed to repeat its path

Move forward, looking back

Move forward, looking back
Mistakes have lead me here
Although my successes
Are apparent and clear

It's the weave, the texture
Misplaced threads that stand out
Fear, the complications
The misery, the doubt

Isadora Love Song



There's a sadness in time

There's a sadness in time
Mental photographs made
Frames of passing fragments
That disappear or fade

We sing for the moment
Our voices in the din
When our verse is over
Another song begins

Is this feeling or thought

Is this feeling or thought
My mood decides my trail
Hurt feelings, my rudder
A changing mind, my sail

Can't look the other way
When facing certainty
A head-on collision
Like constant gravity

Follow the narrow path


Follow the narrow path
Rewards are no surprise
Lives of decorations
Each step receives a prize

For those who deviate
No congratulations
Such is the lonely path
Without celebrations

Winter white and wonder


Winter white and wonder
The trees have gone to sleep
Icicles are forming
The tears that snowfalls weep

Perpetual snowglobe
The silence and the peace
As the snowflakes gather
Like pillows of cold fleece
