River Split in Two

Down this path 

I walk on

Guided by tall trees

Next to the bees

Pollinating near by 

Row on row the flowers bloom

The entrance to a river bed

The river spilt 

Into two ways one left 

One right

The left is straight and narrow

No bends or curves

Leading on and on

To the right it's bends

Are tight to the sight 

With rapids every couple feet

In my boat a descion lies

ahead do I follow the straight and narrow?

Or the right with bumps and curves

Tough and difficult to ride.

I'll flip a coin 

I thought, tales left, heads right 

Flipped the old silver 

Lands in the river.

Play the old pick and choose 

Enie minie moe

How does that song go?

Now which way?

Suddenly a gentle voice says go right my child for I am with you.

Never fear for I am here

But I want to go left 

Less work

For my old boat.

Then again go right I am with you

Never fear for I am here.

So I ponder and wonder 

Okay you win I go right.

Tight fight 

Dodging every bend and rock

Every bump and dump

My bow makes 

Gives me shakes 

At the end I see the left

Ending at a waterfall 

100 feet did it drop

No wonder I stopped

By the voice who gave me the choice

To save my life or end it and all I know of if.

Beware

Whispers of the trees

Carry their tales through the wind

Taking them miles and miles away.

Echoing from one to the next.

Below leaves dance and prance 

To the rhythm of the whispers.

Stories and tragedies 

Leave their mark 

In the songs of the mellow lark

Who sings among the whispers

Of the trees

Who see

The untold

Past that lasts

Until peace

Nits and sows

All the broken bones

Laying beneath the forrest

That are not at rest.

Be careful when entering

You may see more

Then you'll ever want to know. 

Not alone

When I feel alone

You are always there.

Telling me I'm not the only one

Who feels this way

your voice 

a warm blanket

cuddling close

to me at night.

Making me feel safe and sound.

your hold becomes tighter

as I become frightened

of the violent thunder

roaring words that swirl and taunt

but your my safe haven.

Holding me in the night

singing lullabies

a soft gentle

one that is mine

forever in all of time.

Eyes like Ice

Cold as ice

As though it may seem

With gently brush touch of blue

Pierce my soul

How could such

A beauty   

With a heart of mercy

Have such pain.

It Glows in your eyes

As I look deeper

And gaze on and on

Another story is told 

Not by mouth

But blue windows

Holding secrets

Kept inside. 

Sheets of ice go on

For miles and miles

I whisper 

Darling come now

It's safe

The pain of yesterday has melted 

Come now

I have your hand 

I am by your side 

Forever and ever

Through every sunrise.

Little Kid

I can hear my wind chimes

Of my home

Gently play lost songs 

That once brought joy 

Love into the earth.

Sun shining bright 

Welcoming the day 

As I play 

With my old friends

With a kick and a flick

Of our feet 

We play ball in the street .

I can hear my mom call me in

For supper to begin

I want to stay out on this warm night 

Play till everyone is out of sight

The time I can see every street lamp

Light the quiet road between rows 

Of houses on every corner.

I close my eyes and imagine

I'm a great dectective sloving in the night 

But bed time awaits 

For my young bones

I sleep till another day comes

Free at last

Coming out of that old chevy
was my baby
On our first day
What could I say
I didn't know what was coming
But what I saw standing
Struck my heart.

At first we didn't talk
Just walked and stared
shy as can be
I wonder you see
When you look at me.

Then my chains fell to my feet
I am finally free
From what was once holding me back

Covered in muck
This really sucked
I didnt look like a princess
When we met

That night at the fire
glowing bright with desire
Our eyes got lost
Then our lips met


Then my chains fell to my feet
I am finally free
From what was once holding me back


I can breathe in 

Hold you close 

Till I fall asleep in your arms

Keeping me safe from harm 

I am free

ill child

Ding ding 

The chimes are singing 

A warm sun grinning 

Come Come 

Enjoy this lovely day

Come out to play 

Hear the squeaks and creeks

Of children on a titer toter

Endless laughter in their joyous smiles 

All around

Bringing happiness abound

I smile and watch behind

The glass wondering 

What it would be like 

To dance and prance 

In the wonderful romance 

Of merryment.

Trapped and slapped 

Shut in my cage 

My master is quite a rage

I sit and beg to join

The joking and laughter.

All in all he gets madder

"Your a sick child, 

Stay inside where it's nice and mild.
