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?

Dedicated to my sister and me

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…

On the way home from the library Stephanie stopped off to treat them to a cool refresher drink. By this time, the car had become very quiet. Kellan was in the back seat already deep in his book. Keagan was exploring his, and Aurora was reading away at hers, page after page. She suddenly looks up and says, 

“My brain is too smart now, there is no more room, 

because this is taking over!” —(as she looks at her book.)

only sometimes I

walk outside after dark,

Barefoot on

the cool soft grass

feeling the renewal come

from deep inside the earth

Replenishing tired feet

and calming the spirit,

the energy of nature …

The sound of silence …

Or a whispered breeze

Or a sound of my pin oak leaves

Or an inspiration

That enters my head

It is the sounds that go quietly instead

With the sound of silence .

A reflection set, a glance,

mirrored back the soul,

as narcissus asks himself

will I ever grow old.

The water shivers and

and refuses to say.

He looks again closer,

insisting to know.

He slips and falls

into the murky tow .
