In my life
I’ve learned to
Listen to the
Songs in my
Heart some are
Bittersweet melodies others
Are sensual sambas
While others are
Joyful choruses and
Some the sweet
Sounds of far
Off flutes but
All of them
Are my songs
Composed for me
Up in heaven
Month: December 2020
Thumbnail (to Jerry)
Thumbnail smiles and
Two pups in
Arms happy eyes
Sang soft sweet
Songs of affection
Chatting turned secrets
And teasing and
Laughter what’s next
Only heaven knows
But I’m glad
I met you
Even this briefly
Nothing
When we started
We were maybe
Maybe this maybe
That maybe here
Maybe there and
Maybe then then
We were a
Thing a thing
Then and a
Thing there and
A even a
Thing way over
There but then
I realized that
Night that what
I really wanted
Was everything everywhere
Not just something
So I chose
Nothing nothing to
You or me
Wind
Like the wind
That brings rain
Like the wind
That rustles leaves
Like the wind
That whisks heat
Like the wind
That falls snow
Like the wind
You I never
Listened to until
Now when I
Don’t hear it
ThatOneGift (to Grey)
Sometimes life reminds
Me of that
One Christmas long
Ago when for
Days I spied
Upon that one
Gift nestled beneath
The tree knowing
That it was
For me and
When the day
Finally. came it
Went to someone
Else oh the
Gifts that I
Received were fine
But it was
That one that
Made that Christmas
Special to me
