Moonlit night
Breezing through
My soul
(rays streaking darkness).
Alone
But not.
The past
Whispering of sorrows
Crying with losses
Gentle with joy
(and yes, sometimes leaping,
sometimes). . . .

He came when the Heavens were unsteady.
And prisoners cried out for release.
He did not wait for the perfect . . .

Snowy Cracking Sidewalks
Walking down
cold snowy cracking sidewalks
of my Colorado streets.
Glimpses into homes and souls
whole families, sitting together,
side by . . .

Crumbs of Despair
Capturing you
into my darkness
making it yours; bedfellows in pain.
Relief is not an answer

Delightful dolphins dabbling
In seashells and sand,
On crested waves and crashing currents;
Building sand castles, dreams
And make believe schemes.
But most of all,
Building bridges that . . .

onto one too little,
too young to take my anger
falling, on her, onto me.

Ripped . . .
