I am happy …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?

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…

The Glass
Often pansies stuck inside,
cut from a garden
right outside.
She gathered them,
cleaned them,
a bouquet she would make.
Then she would say,
” oh goodness sake.”

IT’S Tea
“It is tea,” she said ,
as she studied the dishes.
She looks back and tilts her head as she glances once more,
and then she said, “I like coffee.”
