The Sea

I love the sea at night.

It is darkness transformed

Into into a mysterious liquid.

The moonlight sparkles

On the waves and is hypnotic

To look at. It occurs to a

Person that the sea is where

We came from.

Quotation

Of all the quotations I’ve known one jumps
Out at me most of all, that is love all the
People you have. Embrace them and tell
Them you love them. Love is strong but
Also fragile. When the day comes and
They aren’t with you anymore, physically
You both are still united in love.

Soul

A person enters a forest
To lose his mind and find
His inner self. After all,
We came from the forest
And our soul came from
The stars.

Trains

Late at night while lying
In bed I hear the plaintive
Sounds of train whistles
In the distance. They come
To railroad crossings and
Blow their horns or whistles,
Whatever you want to call
It. Lives have probably been
Saved by those loud jarring
Horns reminding people
Not to try to get across the
Tracks before the train gets
There.

Stars Everywhere

Look up in the sky at night and
Find billions of stars lighting
Up the universe. People on
Earth wish upon a star. Other
People believe their future is
In the stars. Stars are used by
Sailors to navigate the seas.
We have given names to all
The stars. We would be lost
Without the twinkling stars.

Spirits or Fog?

Set far back off the street is the

Woodmere State Hospital for the Insane

A large metal fence surrounds the hospital

Giving it the look of a prison

On foggy nights when driving through the

Park one can swear they see detached bodies

Of fog crossing the road

Recently they found a small cemetery for

Patients who died while there at Woodmere

Their spirits appear to remind us not to

Forget about them
