Fear came in numbers,
bravery stood alone
The battle intrepid
—glory atoned
(Scottish Moors: September, 1978)
Leaving Waimea
You’ll never catch that perfect wave
or write a perfect verse
The search that drives—the voice that saves,
where all our dreams rehearse
(Sunset Beach: April, 1982)
Goodbye Andromeda
Get it right once
—and you’re free of forever
(Dreamsleep: March, 2021)
Something For Laura
If I could then be with you,
only in my mind
Your memory a lover’s tryst
—in dreams again to find
(Dreamsleep: March, 2021)
