When I was a girl, I played with the boys, Cops and robbers and all the boy’s toys When I was a girl, My hair was not long, I would have liked dresses how I felt wrong Some dreams don’t happen I thought with a sigh I was a girl, but I hid inside, I…… Continue reading When I was a Girl

The Angel’s Flight
High above the clouds she flies, Ariel with her wings of gold, Cries as she sees what has become, Of adonai’s creation A creature of pure light, No mortal eyes can truly see, She moves from one to another, Whispers the healing of the earth But where she goes, The trees stand taller, The grasses…… Continue reading The Angel’s Flight
The Hammer
Slowly it started its fall Degree by degree it moved through an arc Described by Sir Isaac, refined by some others Soon to hit the anvil Releasing the power inside It was swinging slowly now This great weight, tons of steel Toward the single point waiting the moment Patiently What would happen? At the end…… Continue reading The Hammer
Illusion
We hide behind mirrors, masks and walls, We hide what is pretty, we hide all our flaws, We pull some parts in, we build some parts out Tis all an illusion there can be no doubt The flower in springtime sits there on the hill It’s sisters around it in vast array will Draw bees…… Continue reading Illusion
Tableau

Shuffle Down
Age leads to wisdom Some men say Crazy and deluded Come what may End your life in riches Like Midas if you please Remember though later Was like a disease And the world turns round The cymbals chime And the girls dressed in lavender Sure keep good time They dance you to the center Spin…… Continue reading Shuffle Down
I am to my love as my love is to me*
We met again on Winter’s day colder by far than month of May bold colors gone petals astray frosty words grew heavy From where came you? I ask of her Farther than yon North starts there Beyond twelve rivers I crossed them fair With all bold angels waiting To where had you gone she asked…… Continue reading I am to my love as my love is to me*
Tiny Face
A half moon Looks up In delight at the sky Whispers words Looking out Over an August sea The rain falls It runs in rivers Cords flow over asphalt She laughs in delight Small face Against the glass Second summer Near the ground Beautiful sounds Only she can hear Beams like iron Bake the tar…… Continue reading Tiny Face
Shells
On the sand we find them Burrowed all around Hardened shells Formed by the soft being within So in life we find them Surrounded all around Hardened shells Masks formed by the soul within Smiling faces without warmth Eyes without life Words with no meaning Greetings with no meaning We search to find Warmth and life within…… Continue reading Shells
