MY CREATION I spent years Creating this Schooling and honing Primping and preening Kowtowing at times Or fluffing my plumage For all to see I’ve steered this hull Through some stormy times And stayed afloat Navigating, negotiating Not to crash on a crag Just smooth sailing Flaunting what I created To its proper place In the universe
TO SEARCH
Poems by

ALLOW ME TO PAINT YOU A PORTRAIT OF A CHARACTER I’VE KNOWN FOR YEARS A man Grand in stature Although actually quite Small at times With one huge heart A hand in everything he can Some of his loves Animals Babies Clouds and colors in places least expected
I think it is one of the reasons we are to search is to seek is to yearn is to learn is to keep on keeping on
The roar of an idea The song of the sparrow Laughter (and I mean a laugh that you can’t put a rein on)
the striving to and surviving on the soaking in and ringing out
He wishes He wants He lives in me
Reasons we are to be to gain to give to lose to care to want too much to choose to search to be to not to love to dream
The line of a dancer A dream of unity
