Heart (for little Ben)

Today my heart

Sings and yet

Is sad a

Young child gets

A new heart

Today but that

Means another lost

Theirs remember that

When you give

Your heart to

Someone else you

Lose your own

SorryAboutThat

And like a

Cold winter blast

We became frozen

Stuck where we

Were huddling in

Place waiting for

The gale to

Finish its furry

Now the icycles

That we became

Are being warmed

By the sun

Thawing and splashing

Into the cistern

That we are

Fresh and clear

LookingWind

I’m looking for

The wind something

Invisible that moves

Something stormy something

Chilling and something

Still I’m looking

For the wind

For my kite

Lifting lifting lifting

Me up to

Fly dodging about

In the sky

I’m looking for

The breeze on

Hot summer days

A friend that’s

With me always

GlassRoom (for Jay)

My dear boy

I know that

You feel like

A fly trapped

Inside a glass

Room trying to

Find its way

Out you can

See what’s over

There but you

Can’t reach it

One day you’ll

Either get used

To being inside

Or trust that

A window will

Crack and you’ll

Be set free

To buzz about

HappinessFound

Happiness is found

In whispers not

Statements in a

Dish of food

Given of flowers

That bloom in

The morning of

Change found in

Pockets and old

Jokes repeated happiness

Isn’t found in

Others it’s found

Only there in

Your own words

And simple actions
