Will I Ever (+2)

If I don’t first have your eyes,

will I ever have your ears

 

If I don’t first have your mind,

will I ever have your heart

 

If I don’t first have your eyes,

will I ever have your ears

 

If I don’t first hold you far,

—will I ever hold you near

Forever To Shine

 

The joy of a simple walk

The company of a treasured dog

With peace as my guide

I step deeper inside

 

Each stride brings me closer

To myself in this moment

As the past and future

Drift slowly away

 

All bliss now disconnected

From place or event

Its joy sustaining

And unendingly mine

 

The time of the season

All seasons do abound

New light from within

—here forever to shine

 

(Villanova Pennsylvania: August, 2015)

 

 

 

Meadow So Dear

 

A ray of warm sunshine

—sparkling delight

 

An arrival so blessed

on wings of a sprite

 

Its music plays silent

from distant to near

 

Springtime is calling

—the meadow so dear

 

(Villanova Pennsylvania: October, 2015)
