We are swept along on
The winds of infinity.
Who we are, what we
Are, what we think is
Meaningless as our
Treatment of others
Haunts us down the
Corridors of time.

Every Cat
Every cat needs attention
Even though they act
Standoffish. They will
Sit and stare at you for
Minutes at a time and
When you reach down
To pet them they swat
At you. But when they
Want something they’ll
Rub against your leg
And purr.
Guardians of the Gate
The guardians stand at the
Wrought iron gate to make
Sure no unwanted people
Try to tear down this
Harmonious lifestyle that
Exists within this gated
Community. The guards are
Like soldiers defending their
Way of Life.
Prayer
I have prayed some
Of my most heart
Felt prayers while
Driving on mountain
Roads looking down
Two or three hundred
Feet off the almost
Non-existent shoulder.
Breathless
She raises both arms to
Free the clasps binding her
Long, lush hair. It explodes
Down her back, taking my
Breath away.
Nightmare
I had a frightening nightmare
Last night that a black helicopter
Hovered over my house and men
In black rappelled down to the
Ground and disappeared.
Hold Up
One night I was walking
Down a dark street. A
Masked man held me
Up at gunpoint. I
Turned my pockets
Inside out to show I
Didn’t have anything.
And he stole my pants.
Heavenly Choir
All of a sudden a heavenly
Sound came out of the sky.
It was a choir singing
Beautiful songs that brought
Tears to everyone’s eyes. No
One could be seen in the sky,
But it was like the choir was
Encircling us. They sang
Until the sun went down.
The Place
I go down to where the
Land meets the ocean.
I let the rhythmic sound
Of the lapping waves
Lull me into a peaceful
Oneness. This place
Where the the ocean has
A lot to teach me.
Piano Player
It was during a piano playing
Contest that they came to
The last contestant to play.
He was a little boy, and the
Audience snickered when he
Sat down at the piano. He
Began to play, and after a
Few minutes the audience
Was in tears, because they
Had never heard anything
As heavenly and wonderful
As what the little boy played
That night.
