Our fingerprints don’t fade from the lives we touch.

Driving, late for work
Checking gas gauge, “On empty!”
Who used this car last?
Under surveillance
Comedian out of work—
Stealing one more joke
Morning exercise
Topped-off coffee cup ready—
Pumping caffeine curls

Music is a universal art; anybody’s music belongs to everybody; you can’t limit it to race or country.
The final measure of the greatness of all peoples is the amount and standard of the literature and art they have produced.

Bone-chilling winds turn life upside down today
Delivering frigid, Arctic storms to every town
Thickening ice, spreading across the lake’s bay
People running straight into gusts, heads down
Wind chimes endlessly sing a winter-filled blast
Watching the thermometer effortlessly dive
Wondering, how long will this deep freeze last?
Somehow, everyone remains warm and thrives
The townsfolk cope, accepting winter’s greed
Facing long, harsh winters, most every year
Helping others to survive, when one’s in need
Winter’s severity never brings about fear
Finally one day, the wind changes its sound
Pitching warmer air, by way of a chinook
Lightening the load for everyone around
Smiles arrive, from every cranny and nook
Spring will soon send out her welcoming band
Replacing life’s burdens, with warmer wishes
Surviving winter’s struggles across the land
Winter to spring, life crosses familiar bridges
