Here prices skyrocket.
Need to find new ways to pay.
The struggle is real.
You’d better save up my friend.
As it’s not getting cheaper…

Friendship Yearnings
Longing for friendship
Wishes bloom in the heart’s song
A bond yet to be
I swear that it is out there
Be true to yourself, you’ll see…

Make it all Happen
There’s work to be done
Time to get at it
Dreams come true with work
Manifest, see it happen
It will all fall into place…

Abandoned
I am abandoned
Dropped just like a bad habit
Really a sad thing
Lonely and forlorn, I weep
Longing for warmth and solace

Cleansing
Raindrops dance and fall,
Cleansing the earth with each drop,
Life reborn anew.
Whispers of the storm outside,
Nature’s lullaby begins.
Bring on the Night
Frogs croak in evenings.
Bringing about dusk’s entrance.
Twilight comes quickly.
Sun fades, stars begin to glow.
Nightfall settles on the land.

Under the Moonlight
Beneath the moonlight
Swaying to their own sweet tune.
Love is in the air.
All they see is each other.
Tonight, they’ll have no worries.
Golden Crust Delight
Golden crust delight
Mozzarella’s tender melt
Joy in every bite
Time to loosen up your belt
This tasty pie is just right…

Dusk Dancers
Forms dance in the dusk
Veils of mystery and peace
Silent stories told
Solely by shared movement
Embracing deepening night.

Natures Wondrous Secrets
Soft caress of air
Whispers secrets of the world
Nature’s softest sigh
Standing still you can hear it
And share all of its wonder…

Flood Of Memories
Voices of the past
Rippling through the canyon walls
Memories return
Nothing can damn their current
Flooding out in a torrent…

Green Libraries
Ancient trees stand tall
Whispered tales of time and life
Green sanctuary
Older than all time itself
These green libraries stand tall…

Stony Brook
Winding through the stones
Gentle secrets softly flow
Life’s pulse in each drop
Crisp icy waters flow by
Carrying some fallen leaves…

Wide Open
Wide fields kiss the sky
Daisies dance in warm sunlight
Nature’s quilt unfolds
Greeted by deafened silence
With only the wind speaking…

Tension of Silence
In the examination room,
Pencil dances on the page,
Thoughts like butterflies.
A sneeze breaks the silence—you
Realize you forgot to breathe!
