And today you’re
Farther away than
Far heading west
Like the sun
Taking your warm
Glow with you
Moored here I
Call but you’re
On a journey
Of good byes
Say them and
Return to me
Like spring after
The winters deadness

IWish (to Fred & Jay)
I wish
I wish that
I could carry
Away your pain
I wish
I wish I
Could tell you
That it’s okay
It’ll be better
I wish
I wish that
I was the
One for you
I was the
One that you
Picked rather than
Settled for and
I wish
I wish that
I’d never written
This for you
I wish
I wish that
Life’sPuddle (for Jay)
My dear boy
Your heart is
Breaking by loss
Everything begins and
Everything ends we
Often don’t splash
In the puddle
Of life thinking
That rain comes
But when it
Doesn’t and life
Dries up we
Cry grieve now
Knowing that love
Will fill your
Puddle and once
Again soon you’ll
Splash being silly
DayBreak
I awoke early
To sit outside
And listen to
The world awaken
First came birdsongs
Then the stirring
Of critters snapping
Twigs car tire
Sounds on pavement
And at long
Last the sun
A quiet time
This morning as
Day starts sleepily
In my town
RiverYouAre
I dip my
Hand into the
River you are
Feel your current
Feel your cold
Then lay languidly
On flat rocks
Sunning myself in
Your smile warming
