Innocence 

Innocence’s core 

Deep into the abyss 

Consumed by our longing 

Willing sold for love 

A fair trade?

Heart of Stone

Her heart of stone
Sedimentary rock
Made of pressure
Upon layers of
Heartache and
Pain 

The Nature Of Things 

The flowers blooming
Comes abruptly, then it fades
The nature of things

Came across this rose while walking this afternoon. I hadn’t noticed it before, and the petals will be on the ground shortly. 

Last Day Of School

The last day of school brings some melancholy thoughts. Lots of lasts today, followed by a bunch of firsts. For my house, middle school ends. The little boy who once lived in my house is taller than me. Joyous stuff, really, yet tinged with sadness v

Changes, so many, a constant string; such is life, I guess. 

This Sunday Morning 

Quite warm already

Neighborhood birds, quite subdued 

Robbed of their vigor?

Fathers Day 

Fatherhood’s delights 

Youth doing amazing things

Such satisfaction

Oh, To Have Peace 

So very much rage 

We delight in feeding it

I still pray for peace 

Learning from Loving

Gifts from our loving

This sunny afternoon

Daylight moves westwards

Yet the sun up quite high 

The birds are still bold 

Parenting Thoughts

It delights me so 

To see the kids around me 

Make better choices
