Floating leisurely in a sailing, solar-powered glass ballSearching intently for life over the harsh endless sprawl. Beneath me fine dust and a limb from a long-ago burnt tree,I was becoming frightened as my ball was close to the sea. Although colorless sulfur dioxide was surrounding me,The clean air in my bubble came with a cost;…

Oak and an Angel
Sweat gently trickles between the aging tan skin of my breasts.Seasoned are the chambers of this heart that passed the test,Enduring each stage of suffering that came, for He knew best! Death took me not, for as a snowflake unique, He put me on Earth,Life forces surging, His spirit dwells in me, a few years…
A Tale of Two Widows
Tails of green, blue and silver playfully splash, By the beach house’s old tattered white pier. Red is the color of their long surfacing hair As the old widow watches them swim near. Mermaid twins with pearls woven intricately into, Crowns made elegant with thin, spaced fishing lines. As a child, she had long adored…

Seen From Heaven – A Tear Fell
Inaudibly the brown, white and playful striped Tapir now gathered his small herd into a warming pond. Examining the smoke as it was nudging quicker, in the ever toxic air which was visible with the dawn. Lush no more it’s trees or meadows in the low land, Our Father now saw the inferno growing swiftly…
The Garden of Gethsemane
Christ loved, was devoted, preached, and fed and did so many heal,What trying thoughts, must have he borne, and carried with him here,Could he feel the anger and the hate from the many, as he did thus kneel? As Jesus prayed to his Father, Peter, John, and James fell off to sleep,Flesh took over, giving way…

Together To float above the mountains snowy pointed tips, Reaching the rainbows end, with our homespun ships, Playing patty cake with little elves that bring the mornings dew, Oh yes, my eternal love, that was truly me and you! Spending golden weekends on the forever smiling moon, Observing the whole world from inside our glass…
