a question

If I stop talking for fifteen minutes

will you write me a poem?

Is that a creative question?

Or is it a creative request

or neither?

I am curious.

Departure time

We share stories, laughter even grief

toast to everyone’s good health

hard to say goodbye.

Nothing more to say

Time

Cruising the Rhine

castles and vineyards on both sides of the river

one for reverie, the other, revelry

I’m ask to choose

time remains a mystery.

hidden laughter

Children hide behind the trees

their eyes between the leaves

laughing with the light.

Cruising the Mosel River

Soundless

Old age approaches threshold of innocence

easing it’s way for memory to slowly fade

soundless like a star falling from the sky

a swan in the river.

Spend a day

Faith

We are all connected by a deeper truth

a new self arises not from self mastery

but from rendering a self surrender

Don’t wait for visions

even angels don’t have them

walk the path with your faith

God may help you later

if you stumble.
