HopeFull

Hope springs from

The mountain of

Faith it is

A cold brook

With clear water

Dip your hand

Into it when

Feeling despair and

Let it quench

Your thirst for

All the possibilities

Tell your friends

That you have

Your happy place

TheSameAgain

There is a

Correlation between a

Lightbulb and song

When you meet

Someone new the

Lightbulb of hope

Goes off followed

By the song

In your heart

NightRain

The rain came

At night like

Dripping ghouls and

Goblins saturating everything

In a moist

Blanket some falling

Still I wait

Patiently like a

Bumblebee for the

First shaft of

The drying sunshine

OverAgain

Friends and lovers

Have shed like

The peeling of

Paint from weathered

Prairie barns fallen

The leaves of

Autumn or the

Coats of dogs

All gone now

I stare at

New beginnings like

Squinting at the

Sun after dark

Clouds passed by

Bond

Disappointed I am

By men that

Promised then canceled

I’m a man

In a world of

Boys I keep

My word while

They use it

Like a toy

Done I am

Until they all

Grow up and

Understand that your

Word is bond
