My Poetry and Prose Blogology
The Spirits of Stars
“I secretly spy behind the edge of an echo
observing little children jump and laugh
climbing upon sparks of excitement
discovering endless colors in new friends…”
I May Be Old, But We’re Still Young
“stars fall from heaven
before our love melts in time…”
Beyond the Reality Stars
“I stand at the precipice of forever
where I can freely choose my destiny—”
Endless Stars of Hope
“blessings yearn for steady streams of pure hearts
patiently refined in the flames of God’s Spirit
hearts that grew up—suffering in the furnace of life…”
Billions and Billions
"how many of your beloved stars do you know—
who stare through the cold molasses of night..."

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”
Becoming Infinity
“I linger in the light
squinting in silver curiosity
exploring the snarled calculus
of this mystifying universe…”
Before and After
“our love danced upon silver flocks of stars
long before time was ever contemplated”
We Are Starlings

trillions of galaxies teeming in ancestral stars
illuminating you and the worlds without end”
