From my bedroom window
I see the lights of
Denver and while listening
to jazz I watch
the sky lighten dousing
the importance of the
nights skyline with this
breaking day as though
God Himself reminds us
that we may have
the night He will
always have the day

Confidence never comes from
getting but from trying
Arrogance always comes from
getting never from trying
A humble man never
boasts or parade’s success
A selfish man always
announces or displays largesse
Be the quietly humble
confident one and leave
the loud braggart to
their own pity party
Belong
Sometimes it takes a
long time to get
where I belonged where
I know I belong
simply because my heart
has told me so
For so many years
I had done things
because of others wanting
to do things have
things but now this
this today and this
morning and this day
and all of the
days after this one
and into the future
it’s all for me
Not the selfish me
The me that belongs
Place
Everyone needs a place
A place to belong
A place to stay
A place that’s theirs
theirs to retreat to
to remain in to
adore of to retrieve
from a place that
is you when you’re
not there a place
to make love and
meet friends and that
place can always be
either there or whom

Sitting in the cafe
staring out the window
coffee steaming beside me
I see Denver morning
after a night snowfall
The grass is sprinkled
with powdered bakers sugar
looking like dusty tables
And the railroad signs
wear little white derbies
looking all gentlemen like
There’s this one trees
trunk cast in plaster
While tops of cars
wear opaque shower caps
So this is Denver
