Last Ride
my kickstand now down…
The wheels that turned for so long,
Now stays upon the ground…
The wind has changed and now still,
The grass no longer green
the last ride has been complete
the rider no longer seen…
I have stopped for the last time
and pause to say good-bye
I hope to see you on the trail
somewhere on the other side…

Invitation
let’s have a conversation
no, not a wish list to reply
let’s go somewhere and listen
we can laugh or we can cry
let’s stop and say nothing
or just smell the air around
let’s have a conversation
or never make a sound
what is really of value
is you are here for me
and I am always seeking
to have a conversation
a time to sit and be…

In Company
I sit before you all that I have,
A moment,
A cup,
Coffee…
It isn’t the coffee that is the gift,
It is the importance,
A time,
A bequest…
I sit before you and we drink,
Smelling the coffee,
Listening,
Sharing…
Pour into the gift,
Of you and me,
Holding,
The moment…
I sit before you.
We pour
