Life is too short, they often say, To linger in shadows, to waste away. The days slip by, like sand through hands, Time is fleeting, like shifting sands. Dreams that we chase, with all our might, Can fade in the dark, or blaze in the light. So why hold back, or hesitate? The clock … Continue reading Poem: Life is Too Short

Poem: She Answered Her Calling
This poem is about my sister Pam. She was a nurse. I remember how hard she tried to get into nursing school, after she dropped out of high school. Pam was a nurse for 34 years. She loved what she did and went out of her way to help people.

Poem: Heart of a Husky
A Dachshund with the heart of a Husky, Short in the legs, but bold and plucky, With eyes that gleam like winter’s frost, A little body, but a spirit not lost. Through fields of snow, he dreams to run, Beneath the moon, beneath the sun. His tail is small, but it wags with pride, … Continue reading Poem: Heart of a Husky
Poem: The Sound of Emptiness
The Sound of Emptiness In the quiet, still and deep, Where shadows fall and secrets sleep, A hollow breath, a whispered sigh, The sound of emptiness drifts by. It isn't loud, nor sharp, nor clear, But a presence felt when none are near, A space between the heartbeats' trace, Where silence echoes in empty space. … Continue reading Poem: The Sound of Emptiness
Poem: Happy New Year
Happy New Year A brand-new page, a story untold, Awaits to blossom, brave and bold. The clock strikes twelve, the old year fades, New dreams arise, new paths are laid. With sparkling eyes and hearts aglow, We welcome change, we let it flow. The past behind, the future clear, A toast to hope—a bright new … Continue reading Poem: Happy New Year
Poem: From Ashes, Still I Rise
From Ashes, Still I Rise From ashes deep, where shadows fall, I rise again, I stand, I call. Through smoke and fire, through pain and loss, I bear the weight, I bear the cost. The flames may scorch, the winds may roar, But still I rise, forevermore. Each scar a story, each tear a flame, … Continue reading Poem: From Ashes, Still I Rise
Poem: Through the Keyhole of Time
Through the keyhole of time, I peer, A whispered world, so far, so near, Where echoes dance in fleeting light, And shadows stretch beyond the night. I see the faces, old and new, A distant past, a future view, Each moment spins in endless grace, Yet none can stay, none find their place. Through that … Continue reading Poem: Through the Keyhole of Time
Poem: If Grief Were a Bird
This poem is for my sister Pam. She passed away at 56 years of age. If grief were a bird, it would not sing, But flutter low on broken wing, Its feathers dark, its flight uncertain, A shadow cast behind the curtain. It would not perch on branches high, But rest upon the tear-filled sky, … Continue reading Poem: If Grief Were a Bird
Poem: Breathless Beneath the Moon
Beneath the moon, so pale and bright, I stand alone in endless night, A quiet hush, the world asleep, While shadows in the silence creep. The air is thick, a gentle strain, As whispers fall like summer rain, The stars, they burn in distant streams, A symphony of silver beams. My heart, it races, wild … Continue reading Poem: Breathless Beneath the Moon
Poem: Seasons That Never Return
The autumn leaves, once golden bright, Now whisper tales of fleeting light, They fall to earth in soft despair, For seasons pass, but do not care. Winter’s breath, a bitter chill, Wraps the world in silence still, Snowflakes dance in fragile grace, But soon they vanish, leave no trace. Springtime’s bloom with colors new, A … Continue reading Poem: Seasons That Never Return
