lonely children
playing hopscotch
in a minefield
former beauty queen
a mirror of memories
pageant of wrinkles
the midday traffic
cacophony of horns...
a blind man crossing

Decides
Suddenly,
In a daring mood,
To blaze a trail on the highway!
Syllabic Sounds
Ships
Sail
Slowly,
Silently,
Upon serene seas
Shimmering in the southern sun!
Free Verse
Terra Firma
Accept me, o holy
ground!
Upon you I crave to stand
In faith, love and hope,
To cleanse my soul and spirit
In the purity of your sacredness!
Cover me with your green
Mantle of natural growth;
Listen to my ardent prayer
For your eternal preservation!
Let me quench my thirst
At your precious fountains!
Wash away the polluted stains
Of murky rivers, soiled mounts!
Protect me in the soft, soothing
Sanctuary of your embrace!
Sunset
Serene shafts of
warm,
Delicious light shimmer
Suavely as sunset sails
Sedately across cool,
Crystal mountain tops
Waving wistfully with
Indolence and indifference
To the complacent coyness
Of summer’s smiling clouds!
