Sticks and Stones
Is it the hunger of children
that brings the beast to prowl.
Crying out the souls of poverty as
sticks and stones lay down their head.
Salty tears drying just below
the eyes of today’s forgotten,
dripped onto the little feet
without footprints to follow.
Callused soles of traveled miles,
rubbed into the distain of nothingness,
from thick leather boots stepping
on the fear of the lost children.

Full Moon
Morning Prayer
Carry my hopes
Protect my cares
Last moon of spring
Spent from a season
May summer be kind

Bantor
Oh the Banter,
And the laughs
Smiles and words
Returned a gaff
Wit and fun
Memories made
A morning breakfast
relationship laid
