Wandering Through the Forest Mention fleetingly that you’re going to a friend’s house. You’re not really, Are you? Instead, you turn left, along the path; Not right, towards the village. You’re going towards the forest. The magical forest Your mother says it’s off limits. What she doesn’t know, Won’t ever hurt her. You reach the edge of the forest. It’s dark in there And cool. Taking out your Jacket from your bag, You slip off your shoes And put them into the bag, Along with the sketch pad And pastel blue pencil case. You know the sweet spot. Tip toe, Barefoot on the cool, dry leaves. Quietly; It’s like there’s A big do not disturb sign. You here a bird chirp here, Nervous scurrying there. Suddenly a strong wind Picks up. Blows, almost howling. Awakens the whole forest The loose leaves, Now floating around your knees, The trees, now alive. Watching. You’re nearly there. It’s a small clearing. Like Jacob’s Ladder, A patch of sun Shines upon the grass Between gnarled old Maple Tree roots. You sit, and lean against one. Now you watch silently And wait. You take out your pad and pencils. You run a pale hand over the roots, Then sketch them. You sketch the critters That scurry with Such nervous haste. The trees; The entire forest. In all its beauty, It’s your one spot To truly call your own. Where by taking off your shoes, You can feel the leaves, Feel her breaths; Beneath your feet. It’s your place Where you Can feel alive.
As I Sit
As I sit,
I stare
At the bright blank page.
It screams at me:
Write something meaningful,
Or humorous,
But something people
Will actually like.
And if it turns into a chore,
You must cease.
As I sit,
And ponder,
I stare around my surroundings
Whatever to write about?
I wonder.
Perhaps a dashing man,
A lost cause;
A yearning love.
Perhaps a wild horse;
Or even one of
My fears;
My dreams.
Behind this veil,
I write what I wish.
Those people
Who read this
Won’t ever know
Whether it’s imagination
Or maybe something more.
As I sit,
I smile.
For what
I have created
May not be a masterpiece,
But, man;
Writing it
Was like living a second life.
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 [...]

Therapeutic Verse | Poem to Let Go
Therapeutic Verse | Poem to Let Go
Sweet release
as I open my heart
to Love
There is no fear
only the illusion
of dark incarceration
bars and chains
disappear
into the Light
of Reality
as I open my heart
to Love
There is no pain
only the gentleness
of tears washing
hurt and sorrow
cleansed
by the Peace
of Grace
as I open my heart
to Love
Sweet relief
This poetic experience was inspired by a book [...]
Personal Selection | Pondering Election
Personal Selection | Pondering Election
For the past eight years
my vote seemed inconsequential
especially in the elections
that were presidential
In the first one I had voted
among the nation’s majority
Yet America’s decision
was over-ruled by state authority
The second I was not sure of
being given lackluster choices
I felt insecure within myself
among so many other voices
But there was a glimmer of hope
when [...]

Resolutions | New Year
We make resolutions
think of solutions
for better or worse
here is some verse
to make you feel great
in two thousand and eight
forget the new diet
or the fitness craze riot
Just enter this year
with a feeling of cheer
don’t compare your Self
to anyone else
Simply look deep within
and soon you will grin
as you realize this scheme
is merely a dream
and [...]
