Sunset says goodnight
Closing another page
Thoughts filling with peace
Waiting, tomorrow’s stage
Dreams nurture escape
Leaving reality
Subconscious journey
Resting under palm tree
Ocean’s tide rolls in
Viewing each breaking wave
Sleep’s rhythm flows out
Sketching stages to crave
Clouds soon disappear
Clearing under moonlight
Gentle hopes stirring
Taking in spirit’s night
Early dawn arrives
Rousting from slumber’s rest
Sunrise breathes again
Catching stage’s next quest

I believe in kindness. Also in mischief. Also in singing, especially when singing is not necessarily prescribed.
For poems are not words, after all, but fires for the cold, ropes let down to the lost, something as necessary in the pockets of the hungry.

Today invites pause
Recalling yesterday’s strength—
Tomorrow brightens
Weighing life’s balance
Filling heart with confidence—
From every high road
More precious moments
Found in life’s smallest details—
Each child’s uniqueness

True wealth is not measured in money or status or power. It is measured in the legacy we leave behind for those we love and those we inspire.
Grant me courage to serve others; for in service there is true life.
Cesar Chavez (1927-1993) was an American labor leader and civil rights activist. He crusaded for nonviolent social change.
Special Note: Sometimes my early morning time brings God’s Word into greater focus. This poem walks through a day filled with His vision.
Waking up early on a darkened, rainy day
Unable to walk, disrupting my morn with gray
Turning off the news, craving a necessary break
Immersing in other blogs, with their unique take
Sharing thoughtful comments, here and there
Always reminded, so many people truly care
This stubborn mind stores much, obsolete clutter
Causing my mature engine to cough and sputter
Life’s music sometimes offers a stimulating tune
Witnessing other perspectives, into an afternoon
Discovering positive discussions, comforting my mind
Challenging me to see, steps lead to future grace to find
Life’s lens sometimes fails, entirely clouded over
Like searching for a four-leaf, in a field of clover
As a culture, broadcasting anew from many landscapes
Exchanging ideas, opening our lens to exciting escapes
Our Lord, fashioning in us a curious intellect to wear
Stepping out, witnessing life as others wish to share
Reading God’s Word, helping to clear the murky view
Seeing life through His lens, aligning honest and true
