Remember the night we took your mother’s car and drove over the skyway bridge? The moon was a bright light to show the way.

Not sure where we are headed, Could be a long ride, Keep your heart steady, Open wide your eyes. There is something to learn

Silver sliver of the moon With the bright star of Venus Trailing behind. Moonbeams casting light On the waves,

What inspires me... Hummingbirds buzzing as they land, on nearby flowers. Their amazing wings

Not a word heard As the river flows Over rock, around Banks that lie Waiting for visitors.

In the blink of an eye It’s a different scene On the big movie screen So easy to get absorbed In the story line of time.

Geese are honking As they fly Across an orange colored Sky. My spirit soars

The birds flock to the bird feeder, some with black, capped heads and others with

Time passing by now In a blink of the eye, In the clap of a hand, In the chirp of a bird, In a flash of light

Life is a day dream So they say, With every beat Of my heart, The gate to love

Itchy eyes scaly feet achy joints and bad teeth hair so fine

When you are not here An empty heart full of fear Arises and wonders If I will see you again. What will I do without

It is what it is Despite my wishes for it, Otherwise. You are who you are Despite my expectations,

Yellow finches Line the bird feeder Against Spring’ s canopy Of green and purple tapestry. Back and forth they go

I lay still While my loved one, Sleeps. His warm hand In my hand,
