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.

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

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.

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?

CMM 2024

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.)
