The Pit of Tranquility

The Pit of Tranquility
I fell deep into the hole in my soul
and darkness surrounded me,
permeated me,
engulfed me
I thought no light
I had no sight
It just was not right
for me to die
so I decided to try
to live again
even without any Peace
though I thought it elusive
and to certain exclusive
I continued to search in my sleep
until I gently woke [...]

Turning Forty | Happy Birthday to me

Turning Forty | Happy Birthday to me
This June I turn forty
Can this be for real?
Certain bodily evidence
is now hard to conceal…
but isn’t age determined
by the way that I feel?
A pinata I purchased
the prettiest I could find
because my true age
is a state in my mind
So it’s time to celebrate
with young hearts in kind
I bought favors and [...]

Life Celebration | Aunt Karen

Life Celebration | Aunt Karen
On a visit to my Uncle Rick and Aunt Karen’s, we have found ourselves attending memorial services…
Though to a Doctor of English
these rhymes may be drivel
Karen has always inspired me
and spared me literary snivel
When I blasted an e-mail
about living in a red state
Karen’s was the first response
because she could commiserate
I looked [...]

Colorado Weekend | Absolution Ranch

Colorado Weekend | Absolution Ranch

We spent the weekend at Absolution Ranch
for some good ‘ol Western livin’
You don’t need a priest nor penance
to know that you are forgiven… 
Down in the Colorado Paradox Valley
Where God’s greatest gifts are displayed
with incredible views and tranquil gardens
a perfect combination of sunshine and shade
Though the property is fenced for horses
we blazed [...]

Conflict | Peace

Conflict | Peace
My favorite prayer is “Help”
I often ask more specifically
with “Help me to see this differently”
and then I am reminded
about where I was amiss
Surely instead of conflict
I can see Peace instead of this…
For the one who likes to argue…
Do not cloud our light
with your need to be right
just an ego retreat
For there is no [...]

with every word I [...]

A Gift of Love | Any Lengths

A Gift of Love | Any Lengths
For “Locks Of Love” this sonnet is written
to celebrate my shortest haircut ever
a look with which I am totally smitten
I am amazed at how much I could sever!
Having made a donation two times before
but growing enough to keep a shoulder length
such a drastic change no one could ignore
I feared [...]
