Before I knew the answers
life was one big question
Wonder hid round every turn
laughter as my Muse
As answers came the questions left
each day like that before
Laughter but an echoed wish
wonder lost — unfound
(Villanova University: April, 2024)
Colorado
I love it so
but stay away …
the mountains
prairies and streams
Each morning
the magic unveiling again
each night
a sky covered in dreams
I love it so
but stay away …
the cry of the wolf
in the snow
A warning to transients
skimming the top
of a landscape
— they’re never to know
(Leadville Colorado: March, 2021)
