Silent Prayer

Your passion unheard

Wishes now blessings

His Destiny Wed

In the song of the antelope,

  the Prince heard his Queen

Now locked in a convent,

  her beauty unseen

The tower still distant,

  its ramparts on guard

Just one point of entry

  a hero’s reward

The mist in the valley

  her prison unseen

Through clouds in the distance

  her pleadings, her screams

The miles before him

  twin antlers ahead

His future unfolding

  —his destiny wed

(Villanova Pennsylvania: June, 2016)  

Memories Of Jim

Little Lord Fauntleroy

  left to devise

His future uncertain

  a past once despised

Little Lord Fauntleroy

  his choice lies within

To do unto others

  or do unto him

Little Lord Fauntleroy,

  escape from these walls

The lords and new creatures

  —your legacy calls

(Memories Of Jim-Villanova Pennsylvania: June, 2016)

The Repose Of Angels

Switching to off,

  the channel went dead

The music silent

  inside my head

The repose of angels

  dreams of a child

Respite from salvation

  —just for awhile

(Villanova Pennsylvania: June, 2016)
