Distance (to Bean)

Sometimes in love

Impossibility does occur

It’s called distance

That might be

Inches or miles

Time or ages

And it promises

Only one thing

To push away

Or draw close

It doesn’t depend

On the where

Or the why

When or how

But the who

Diamonds (to Bean)

Oh I spy

Diamonds in grass

Early morning dew

Sitting and shimmering

Dancing like fairy

Wings or tiny

House lights of

Nymphs and gnomes

Glisten they do

Disappear they must

But for now

They but twinkle

Like galaxies nestled

In Kentucky bluegrass

Spoon

Thinking of you

Stirring my coffee

Hearing that tink

Which once angered

Now woefully missing

Even summer knows

That it will

Once again kiss

Fall and winter

Relies on spring

But me now

What I have

Is simply that

Muted sound of

My own spoon

Amusement

You do know

That you have

Set the bar

High for others

And so many

Walk beneath it

Like playing limbo

But you oh

You you simply

Leap over it

To my amusement

StandUp (to my Bean)

The most painful

Thing for me

Is watching you

Fall and choosing

Not to run

To your side

At some point

In every boy’s

Life he’s got

To learn that

Only he can

Stand himself up

And face bullies

Whatever they are

This is the

Hardest and greatest

Gift anyone can

Give to someone

That they love

I pray that

You will rise
