Hurried
I ran this morning
At the end of night
Just before the sun appeared
And as I did the time passed
As though we were at a race
I kept my balance and kept
My sight and did not lose the pace.

Truth
I look upon my pen
And dig deep within
So I will know to say
The writing for today
I call upon the muse
the words I hope to chose .
I knew them all so well
While running in the spell
Of early morning light
At the end of a long night .

Footsteps

I heard footsteps ever so quiet
They carried with them
a world of might
sounding of innocence
and tomorrow’s hope
silent the wind,
as it whirls above…
Protect this wonder
this shadow,
this child of love…

Strawberry Moon
Strawberry Moon a
runner’s delight. Hangs above
the starless night.
The poets and sage wakes up
to view, the promise to see
the pink settled hue.

Ice Cream and Volkswagons
I remember those days
we would eat ice cream
and never gain a pound.
Going to the Tasty Freeze
ordering chocolate on chocolate.
Sitting at the booth with my sister,
talking to our new friends
and laughing.
So easy to laugh then at everything;
even ourselves .
