Clouds above me

Swirl about like

Soapy suds swirling

Down the kitchen

Sink hawks soar

On invisible winds

High above as

Tall trees stand

Guard like thin

Helmeted soldiers or

Green umbrellas in

Fruity drinks the

Air is thick

With the stereo

Of bird calls

And tweets tickling

From afar as

Charlotte wakes up

Inspiration

What inspires me

Is what my

Heart sings it’s

Passion and compassion

It’s laughter and

Kindness in sight

Of fear it’s

Your reading of

This and wagging

Tails and long

Loving tongues these

Are the things

Which inspire me

Fork

And there came

The fork that

Place where we

Went you me

And not us

Oh I wished

That we could’ve

Been us for

A while longer

For a few

More steps or

Miles or hours

Or maybe days

But now is

When I say

Goodbye to us

And hello to

You

Writing (for Christopher)

Every single time

That I begin

To write its

As though I’m

Stepping into Heaven

I step into

A different beautiful

Place where everything

Simply becomes words

Spirit (to Christopher)

And like in

The cold your

Breath rising through

Woolen mittens I

Witness your spirit

Escaping your lips

After a kiss

Or the deep

Sighs of understanding

Or that look

On your face

When you at

Last understand the

Joke I played

Your spirit is

Your sun and

I see it daily
