And no summer came…
calendar frozen, cold winds still in play
And no summer came…
the birds and butterflies staying away
And no summer came…
expressions of love buried in the frost
And no summer came…
seasons to mourn every day that we’ve lost
(Dreamsleep: May, 2020)
Reaching Out
They just want to feel something…
the audience again new
They just want to escape time,
for a moment then, or two
They just want to know you care,
after what the past has cost
They just want you reaching out
—touching something that they’ve lost
(Villanova Pennsylvania: May, 2020)
Resonation
Poetry,
not read with the eyes
or listened to with the ears
—when spirited through the soul
(Dreamsleep: May, 2020)
Deeded Ground
Never let the words
take you
Where a feeling
—hasn’t already been
(Dreamsleep: May, 2020)
