I think I’m a closet storm-watcher. I’m captivated by the power of waves.
Wave Wash of the sea amorous in its longing transparent in its green or blue The calm and patient shore reshaped by the kiss of splash and the endless succession of wave upon wave Exquisite is its relentless movement Deliberate is its tide And from the shore we embrace its leavings for there is no...

I long to accomplish a great and noble task, but it is my chief duty to
accomplish humble tasks as though they were great and noble. The world is moved along, not only by the mighty shoves of its heroes, but also by the aggregate of the tiny pushes of each honest worker. ~ Helen Keller Glass and Steel After graduation I talked my way into a job In that building that...

Sometimes a few moments of reminiscence is just what the Dr. ordered….
Memories I do not forget the past Today, at least my reminiscence is uprisen Prairie sunsets shot with gold, maroon, and cerulean Colours until that very moment unknown Luminosity fights through the silent shadows Time may have circled round and round and how these places have changed landmarks...

A little “lighter” today – Please stay out of my personal hula hoop! ~~~~~
Hoop There are secrets in my coffee and some demons in my soup There are stories in my toast crumbs Please respect my personal hoop Aspirations seen in tea leaves My dreams may drift with the clouds I don’t consider my privacy an impenetrable, air-tight shroud But should you rifle through my...

We don't have to attend every argument we're invited to...~~~~~~~~~
Inevitable A point so self evident as to not merit repeating Yet it rears it ugly head time and time again Oh, how I attempt to ease myself out of destructive, self-searing debates Or with sudden volte-face I am simply besieged by the inevitable; the unretractable burning words of sorry This path is...

Memories can be so sweet but the future is even sweeter….. ~~~~~~~~~~~
Remember The sweet and sour aroma of reminiscence Inhaled one breath at a time Tour guide to my own life passing; all the detours and the stretched out highways Sceptic and believer in a handshake of friend and foe intensify these close encounters with me Memories glittering in a resplendent variety...

Do you feel a sense of envy when people tell you about their travels afar?
Adventurer They speak of sailing to Paris to eat duck confit Tell tales of arduous climbs up Machu Picchu or thirsty hikes across Indonesia with only Nikon and spoon Yawning yarns of adventure to look cool Rhapsodizing about the African wilderness Urban-myth forming experiences spill from the mouths...

Feeling the effects of a West Coast winter this “oldie” came to mind…
