The Soul in Me
Do you ever see wild animals?
I ran in the middle of Alaska snow
As long as I ran I did not know
There were always a wild creature
Soon waiting for me .
It could have been a moose who looked
As I ran by and turned and took
Another way always seemed best
Among the snow and quiet unrest
A moose is kind but unafraid
And has chased after me, many a day
Then there were the large ravens flight
Who ran and skipped and flew in-spite
Of seeing me just ahead
and never reasoned never dread
A red fox came by once and peeked
Then on his way with his swift feet
Snow brown bear in the distance
Bison’s caught some resistance .
If you venture to go running in Alaska terrain
Be prepared for anything from snow to rain
Embracing Darkness: A Journey Through Advent
Just sit with me in the darkness
As Advent moves in.
You do not have to fix it,
Please, just listen in our silence.
Just sit with me,
in the darkness.

Because someone sat with me,
I was ok,
the darkness soon faded away.
Scotland
If you could live anywhere in the world, where would it be?
My family has roots
In a far away land
Where green is green
Among the sand
Of nearby shores
Surround the past
But the Celtic blood
Still runs the mast .
So the wind blew
Through open sea
And brought with it
A Celtic Me.

Forever Full Moon
Just outside my window
The full moon lingers there
Night after night the glowing stares
Into the silvery light it cast
Cross the darkness the magic last
As if to say , no matter what
I will forever be , waiting in the dark
Looking back to see
You , looking for the full moon magic
Across eternity

Remembering the Buffalo Soldier: An Eloquent Crimson Sunrise

I ran past and paused,
the crimson rise of the sun
gave honor to the Buffalo Soldier.
A moment of memory,
a moment of time,
a moment of the universe
casting crimson sign.
They are not forgotten,
they are still heard.

Poem
I gather my thoughts
As I hang the phone
Back to go quiet again
I think of our conversation
And become somber
Because now I worry
Why , because I hear the pain
Pain that should have never
Been your pain
Pain that should have never
Been my pain .
But it was and it still is
And we did not know
Until it was to late
To ask , why?

Here Comes the Sun
The Encore of the Wind: A Poetic Composition by CMM (2024)
I have sat next to all the beginnings,
I have heard the rushing of the wisdom
coming from the sea.
The wind calls out the encore
against the rocks
and it is me…
