Time

Waking to a full moon,

hung in the darkened sky.

crisp wind swings softly ,

as I gaze toward the silver eye.

Hues of silver cast in sight,

shadows of clouds pass by.

I stop, sit on cool green grass,

and gaze back upon the sky.

2023. CMM.

I am happy …

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 

CMM.  2024 

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

Life settles to an understanding which keeps defining and redefining understanding. I just keep asking God to hold on to me. I want to be here for the family but sometimes I become exhausted. Let us continue to pray and hold on to the reigns. It is not just our lives, but the lives affected by the rumblings of our nation and our world. 

I figured out why happy does not feel the same as it used to. How can it? Our consciousness is being reminded every minute; all is not right with the world. So instead of laughing loudly when we can laugh, or crying when we think we should. It is manifested by our very existent in a world of ‘sorrow’ around the world.
