"Somber Thoughts"

Verse 1
********

Sacred in the early dawn
as silence captures
our minds, our wills
we share of life
of what we know
to what we've become
and how best to impart
of somber thoughts
to those we love
and not offend
and not offend.

"Reflected Sunlight"

Verse 1
********

Diluted in the early haze
we shade not our eyes
as thoughts of childhood
of the good and bad
come upon dawn
and whispered hushed voices
we the reverence
of the birth
of another day's
reflected sunlight.

"Words of Love"

Verse 1
********

Be careful
as to what you share
for in trying to help
those you love
words must be chosen
from the spirit
from the prayer
for what is eternal
and then when said
these words will become
words of love.

The Path

Verse 1
********

"The path . . .
was frozen
from the ages
of time past
and the forest
quiet except

for the flutter
of the pheasant
seeking shelter
in the barren
woods of winter.

Verse 2
********

So seeking
a landing
in the snow
covered grass
the pheasant
chose to blend
as one
with the forest floor
while evening fell
and the wind
grew colder still.

Verse 3
*******

And man
oblivious
to natures tale
allows the artist's hand
to create this image
found frozen
in harmony
with winter
in ages past
over the forest's
frozen path. . . "
