Savage Daughter
There’s nothing like a parent’s pride
When they witness the strength in their children
When in difficult times their resilience comes through
Whether it’s a reflection in their upbringing
Or an observation about their character
And nothing makes a man more happy
Then to see his daughters thrive
Whatever comes their way
I know they will be OK
Because they have their mother’s toughness
Their ancestors’ spirit
And the freedom to be themselves

Morning Rituals
I lie awake
about ten minutes before the first alarm goes off
thinking about what I’m going to do that day
before I force myself to put on my running shoes
and go into the darkness
after an hour
or about when Clockwork Angels is coming to a close
the feeling of accomplishment Rushes through me
I notice I’m getting slower
and the distances are shorter
but I’m OK with it
after breakfast
after doing the dishes
I down my hot cup of coffee
(with my blood pressure meds)
but my body temperature goes up again ...

IT'S THE BEST WAY
Verse:1
A talented hand
Is a talented brain
Ink so fresh like words that stand
Beautiful gestures that attain....
Verse: 2
I love to express
Like I do my dress
Precious heart that tries to confess
The struggle of my huge stress
Verse: 3
Flowers dance
With aroma immense
Petals with colors that caress
As they fall.They leave a mess.. but still the best
CHORUS:
It's the best way of the rest "Of the rest"
The way life shows...
A talented hand
Is a talented brain
Ink so fresh like words that stand
Beautiful gestures that attain....
Verse: 2
I love to express
Like I do my dress
Precious heart that tries to confess
The struggle of my huge stress
Verse: 3
Flowers dance
With aroma immense
Petals with colors that caress
As they fall.They leave a mess.. but still the best
CHORUS:
It's the best way of the rest "Of the rest"
The way life shows...

Cradle Stories
Step right up, the circus glows,
underneath the striped big top it shows.
Dancers twirl, the clowns all grin.
A roaring crowd, a world within.
But hush now, hush, the wind is strong,
something feels so very wrong.
The shadows stretch, the lights turn dim,
the merry tune sounds cracked and grim.
The tent it shivers, walls so tight,
a whisper crawls into the night.
And in the dark, with bated breath,
a voice calls out but nothing’s left.
So close your eyes, don’t make a sound,
the circus sleeps beneath...
underneath the striped big top it shows.
Dancers twirl, the clowns all grin.
A roaring crowd, a world within.
But hush now, hush, the wind is strong,
something feels so very wrong.
The shadows stretch, the lights turn dim,
the merry tune sounds cracked and grim.
The tent it shivers, walls so tight,
a whisper crawls into the night.
And in the dark, with bated breath,
a voice calls out but nothing’s left.
So close your eyes, don’t make a sound,
the circus sleeps beneath...

My Hardware Life - 1
Ding, ding!
customer drives in
to pickup heavy, bulky,
generally unwieldy
already purchased merchandise
I manage the muscle men
tasked with hefting
countless, fifty-pound bags of cement
twenty-five-pound bags of rock salt
and lighter bags of stuff for gardening
redwood compost, potting soil, additives to condition your dirt
one must be careful to carry the pungent manures,
steer and more odiferous chicken at arm's-length
so you don't risk spending
the rest of your day
wearing a super smelly shirt

Until we meet again
Until we meet again I will always continue to believe in my faith and beliefs, for I was one of those who were chosen to be able to be his spiritual soldier, his most strongest soldier that will never bend to the deepness of the outside world 🌎 For sure I was one of the chosen one, that he felt compelled to carry the torch of honor and dignity, as his most strongest soldier to

Life taught me that
When I was a little girl,
I always dreamt of passing through the clouds
Whether it was by plane or simply flying.
With my feet grounded on the earth,
Looking up at the sky
The clouds seemed like bliss
Soft pillows of peace
And calm
I'd imagine it would be smooth sailing
Across the horizon
Now that I'm older
and I've travelled through the clouds,
They're nothing like I had imagined
No longer do I desire
To pass through clouds
Whether by plane or simply flying.
With my feet off the ground,
Me in the sky...
I always dreamt of passing through the clouds
Whether it was by plane or simply flying.
With my feet grounded on the earth,
Looking up at the sky
The clouds seemed like bliss
Soft pillows of peace
And calm
I'd imagine it would be smooth sailing
Across the horizon
Now that I'm older
and I've travelled through the clouds,
They're nothing like I had imagined
No longer do I desire
To pass through clouds
Whether by plane or simply flying.
With my feet off the ground,
Me in the sky...

When We Cross
I’m often amazed at the insightful musings of others
Not just in their intellect
But also in the spiritual sense of being and understanding
As if clarity has been achieved through the obstacles they’ve faced
Perception comes at different times and different levels
Especially when we’re caught up in those moments of unity
Poetry seems to capture it perfectly
Making our journey through this human experience
That much more fantastic

Your best memories aren't captured in photographs
they appear as places,
seasons, trinkets, aromas,
sounds, textures and you
will remember like it only
happened yesterday.

Four letter words
i) fore word
Just some talk here,
then your main poem.
Ears open? Good!
Eyes wide? Yeah!
Take care!
ii) four word
Can't stop this ride!
Your life zips past
with fast pace;
full pelt.
Walk, then rise, then dash.
Life will seem long,
Much like soft rain,
tame wind,
can't stay here,
life ends; gone soon.
Thus, view each hour with care;
some good, some fine.
Take time; feel each feel:
love, fear, rage, zeal.
Even lows help grow hope.
Work hard? Earn more?

Challenges with love
They say that through this cycle of life 🙏 we will have to go through so much sometimes with things that will even change our own lives. Down to the way of how deep does the hurt and pain, goes deeper than deep, into the subconscious of our deepest thoughts. Yes the truth is that what we have to do for thyself, is to analyze our own chains of thoughts. 🤔 telling ourselves we have to learn how to navigate, through times like these and have a different kind of perception. For sure there will be real challenges, with love and honor and respect. For each other as one. But yet we...
