to fill the waiting branches,
As warming rains replace cold snows
the promise of spring advances.
The Robin, perched upon the bow
watches the worm of choice
unsure, with ever watchful eye
her song has lost its voice.
Could it be she feels the loss
wears the guilt and weighs the cost?
As April showers drench and spread

the strength it takes to bend
For trees are rooted deeply
Precious foliage to nurture and tend.
A chilling breeze through idle leaves
Just blew the tree away
While bestowing warmth on a shaded face
A back draft thaw was taking place.
Yet trees are trees and stone is stone
Dependent moss on both has grown

Can captivate, we marvel at the glare.

Wishing on them in despair; not completely unaware
That our eyes take pleasure and delight
In stars that are not there.

Though space has claimed the stars of night
It somehow missed the show of light
That glows no matter how we try
To tell ourselves the light&#8217;s a [...]]]></description>

To the dark and gloomy stone
Would thou prefer I go away
And leave thee to thine own?
I sway your way on gentle breeze
With warmth for you to hold
But as a tree, I ask of thee
Do stones prefer the cold?

She wondered why they came
Oblivious to everything
She did not know their name
She shrugged her shoulders, endlessly
To signify her doubts
And searched for signs, repeatedly
Of her own whereabouts.

And blocked my point of view
Just one more stranger in the stream
Who failed to reach those things unseen.

		<description><![CDATA[Gentle thought and quiet talk
Of yesterday&#8217;s promise, it seems
Reveals the truth, the painful proof
That waking falls short of our dreams.
As youthful dreams are laid to rest
Their intent to pave the surface
Our hearts and minds still try their best
To make the dream the purpose.

Than always stuck in one extreme
To cope, we often justify
The things we cannot rectify
The turmoil that provides the churn
Results in undue self-concern
Contradiction plagues each soul
That yearns for that which makes it whole.

Within your cage you can&#8217;t engage
In wonderment of flight
The door is widely open
And yet you choose to rest
You&#8217;ve clucked and I have spoken
Now I leave you to your nest.

That alters our existence
It simply takes the easy route
That offers least resistance.

On how it goes or where

To get from here to there.

I thrive on sinful sounds of rhyme
a small transgression, in my eyes

those fleeting thoughts that come and go
captured, they combine and flow.
The rhyme is what entices me
From perfect prose to poetry.

		<description><![CDATA[I touched the surface of the stone
And sensed the crystals&#8217; melt
I felt its coldness in my hand
As smooth as glass on shifting sand
And wondered what it felt.
Did it feel the warmth within my hold
Or did  I simply feel the cold?

time to harvest
nature&#8217;s crop
New England gold
mined drop by drop
flowing freely
as days grow long
adding notes
to Spring&#8217;s sweet song.

		<description><![CDATA[Watch them go
where there&#8217;s a chance
their own ambitions
to advance.
Hear them purr
where there is naught
to solidify their ego slot.
See the indifference
as bridges burn
when they&#8217;ve garnered their pittance
watch them squirm.

Of crystal ice and snow I&#8217;ve come to hate
A little taste of beauty is enough
I&#8217;ve had it with this fluffy, flaky stuff!
The skiers are elated as they glide
While I am irritated as I slide
Around a yard that&#8217;s now a skating rink
And so I close my eyes and [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Traveling through the starlit galaxies
I came upon a frosty stunted breeze
Attempting to preempt its urge to blow
I administered a warming friendly glow.
Portrayed with hues of softness in its heart
The storm would rage then suddenly depart
Between the two extremes I heard a plea
&#8220;Please somebody come and rescue me&#8221;
The lonely wind responded with a grace
Of gentleness that [...]]]></description>
