ThereThereThere

When you miss

Me simply place

Your hand over

Your heart I

Am right there

There right now

Feel me I’m

Never farther away

Than you there

BeachDawn (to Bean)

And with my

Eyes I spy

A new day

Breaking out there

Not yet here

Canopy of clouds

Like London umbrellas

Growling and muttering

Hovering above churning

Seas washing the

Bleached beached sand

In sudsy foam

Depositing sea shells

At my feet

Which sink quickly

Like hasty relationships

And yet there

Beyond my reach

Dawn breaks through

Like a Chinese

Dragon on NewYears

Exploding bleeding red

For a moment

Then quietly gone

Just like yesterday

HappyBirthdayLizeth

On this day

Eighteen years ago

The world was

Blessed with you

You brought joy

Happiness and love

Here with you

Full of promises

Beauty and hope

On this day

Belonging to you

This I wish

That you and

Sonia may one

Day bring to

All of us

The same bundle

Of joy which

You once were

And continue to

Be for others

Happy Birthday Lizeth

VirginiaBeach (to Black Bean)

And once again

Away you are

With those that

Love you most

Beach and ocean

Horizon white blue

Kissing ocean green

Sand and umbrellas

Laughter song love

Please be there

Now with them

Don’t wish me

There because I

Already am looking

Through your eyes

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
