Poem of the Day 10/8/20

Mars, shining orange,

Like a lone Christmas tree light,

Hanging beside the moon

Poem of the Day 8/19/20

The cicadas buzz

And frogs calls crackle loudly-

A Cool summer night

Poem of the Day 4/28/20

The full moon hangs over

These quiet neighborhood streets

A cool night wind whispers

Poem of the Day- 10/22/19

Just before the dawn,

House lights reflect on the harbor

The sky’s dark mirror

Poem of the Day 7/3/19 – Stopping At My Child’s Door

Stopping At My Child’s Door

Open the bedroom door and look in

Through the darkness,

at you, sleeping

So small, so silent

The gentle rise and fall of your breath

the only movement.

It is not yet late,

but I am too late.

Too late to see you awake.

Too late to hold you tight

Or sing your lullaby.

Miles I have come

Just to look through this doorway

Just to see you sleep,

Just to see you sleep.

The night is lonely, dark, and deep

Are there any promises I can yet keep?
