Death to Life

The river of life
flows freely.

Shall

you and I

take a swim.

Mortality
to
Immortality.

Sketching

An
artist
sketched
a
picture.

On the
pages
of my
heart.

Remaining
there
todayand
forever.

Falling Asleep (Cinquain)

Finding
A hollow tree
Making themselves a bed
They quickly close their eyes and fall
asleep.

Many Faces

Love takes on many faces,

We love for different reasons,

I love you, because you're you.

Bend Your Ear

Bend your ear to the wind

On a wind swept day.

You can hear the fairies

As they busy play.

It Was He

It was he!
the
beautiful

with
compelling
words

bringing

to
admire
his
writings.

Costume Jewelry

When very young,
I bought into a ring.

Expecting precious
metal,
Instead,
Costume jewelry.

Hop Scotch

Yesterday
we painted
hop scotch
on the sidewalk

Now it's painted
on the sidewalk
of my heart.

When Much is Given

When
distributing
talents.

Few
were
found
worthy.

To
whom
much
is
given.

Much
is
required.

Looking In A Mirror

Looking
in a
mirror
I caught
a glimpse
of you.

Looking
again I
saw
myself
melting
into you.
