A Living Dream
Walk gently upon
the Earth
Leaving prints
The wind will
scatter
Like sand across
The echoes of
time
Composing song
On its journey
So deeply rich
A melody
Sways my soul
In softest waves
Of peaceful
breeze
Floating above
The ocean blue
As I lay
dreaming
A living dream

A Twig
I planted
Became colossal
tree
Providing
abundant shade
The blooms
dinner plates
Pink beautiful
and fragrant
Looked like the
wings
Of doves in
flight
It’s dark
green massive leaves
Like mirrors in
my eyes
Thick bark
protected
Its spirit from
oozing life
I watched it
grow
With much love
Feeding, weeding
Loving care
But like all
things , it also died
It fell
it’s roots
exposed
To die in front
of me
In spring I
started
Once more a
garden
Mulched, weeded
And water it
2 weeks later I
saw
The small twig
It was green
shiney
Like my dreams
A sapling from
The original
tree
Again, I mulched
And cared for it
And see growth
Each day
Hoping, one day
I’ll get to sit
Beneath its
shade
and remember
the scraggly
twig
That grew to
tree
It was the place
wherechildhood
dreams grew
carefree
where my mind
could see life’s
endless run
Where I could
take refuge
From the Summer
heat
Where I could
lie down
And count the
stars
And wonder
How far they
were
And how small we
were
If Love Is Not Forever
If Love is not
forever
And not forever
true
Why do we die in
darkness?
Waiting for love
anew
Is there any
wonder
Why there’s so
much pain
Why so many
people
Filling soul with
gains
Why so many
killings?
Why so many
endings?
If the old and
lonely
And the homeless
kin
And the little
children
Find no kindly
stranger
To grow hope
again
If in life no
love exists
Why the World is
spinning
With the hope of
living
And little of
giving
While we count
the riches
Of the pretty
pennies
While the soul
is drowning
In a World of
greed
In a World of
power
And we die in
darkness
Taking lives of
many
