Billions and Billions
"how many of your beloved stars do you know—
who stare through the cold molasses of night..."

Evanescence
"you linger in dreams
immersed in a placid teal sea
protected in the chest of my heart..."
Every Creature
“God carved alabaster art out of dark space
a magnificent—reflective moon
to shine a standard of beauty and peace…”
Three Superpowers
“this divine therapy shaped me well—
three indomitable powers of time
molded into water, ice, and wind…”
My Old Eyes
“now—as my old eyes fade into flint
to humbly close in a fading entropy
I hope to carry one precious virtue
to a never-ending world of spirits”
Mothers’ Day
“who taught us how to love
in a love-forgotten world
who spread their beauty
upon nature’s own beauty”
Quiet Angels
“there's a perpetual sadness stirring
the pure hearts of our whispering waters…”

Before and After
“our love danced upon silver flocks of stars
long before time was ever contemplated”
