  • Wings (Poem)

    I want for you wings

    Seen only by you and those you choose.

    Let them be wondrously delicate

    With immense hidden power,

    Able to unfurl and carry you soaring

    On journeys filled with magic and delight.

    May they allow you

    To become a traveler of many realms,

    Unbound by convention and earthly concerns.

    As you glide through your days and nights,

    Listen for the trail of laughter and song

    That surely will follow.

    And no matter what might come,

    Ever remember that you can fly.

    (Written for R, also a poet.)

  • How To Count (Poem)

    How to delineate a life lived?

    Let us use not temporal posts of days or years

    But limn the finer measure

    Of love given and received

    Of kindness extended with a free hand

    Of compassion shown in minute and larger ways

    Of laughter shared with those around.

    Choose to see joy

    And continue to delight in our communal dance.
