So often I see the stars
And wonder at worlds above
What we could see
What we could find
If there, above it all
There is a world
For me
Then I remember
When I look in your eyes
That right before me
Is a world all my own

The pirate and the soldier
The soldier asked the pirate why
He plundered ‘long the coast
The pirate asked, “Why would you die
Defending those with most?”
10/9/2021 – a haiku
The trees are yet green
The colors of earth yet light
I wish they’d redden
10/8/2021 – happy place
A quiet corner without noise
In which to nestle tight
Free from the hecticness of day
And like to solemn night
10/7/2021 – a haiku
Why do the clouds crowd
Blot out the life-giving sun
And make days dreary?
10/6/2021
In the quiet
My mind howls
If I could ride a boat along
If I could ride a boat along
The endless stream of time
And listen to the eerie song
It sings bereft of rhyme
I wonder what wonders I’d see
And who I would become
Were I from this spacetime-point free
To with the time-stream hum
10/4/2021 – a haiku
I find myself lost
Pining after your presence
Until you come home
10/2/2021
With fevered wanting I look in your eyes
As desp’rately I wish to hold you tight
Look now past all that makes up my disguise
My true, unfettered love is in your sight
10/1/2021
Give me a crackling fire
The stars above
Animal sounds all round
Give me my loves
A quick-witted word
Laughter reaching high
Give me all this
And I
Will smile
