“Indians have a saying,” she said
from across the fire…
“Until you have heard the roar
of the bear
—you will not know its heart”
(Villanova Pennsylvania: March, 2015)
From My Novel: ‘Revenge Along The War Trail’
Love's Release
Look with your eyes,
until you see with your mind
Listen with your ears,
until you feel what you hear
Laugh with each breath,
until you smile with your heart
Love with your will
—until it releases your soul
(Villanova Pennsylvania: March, 2015)
Defensione Vitae
The only defense against fate
is words
The only answer to death
—is life
(Villanova Pennsylvania: November, 2018)
Beginning Again
From silver to gold,
the years marched along
As language emboldened
its words into song
The grey of my twilight
a welcome relief
All reasoned excuses
another’s belief
As the winds through the canyon
blow the valley to sand
This ending now welcome
—beginning again
(Villanova Pennsylvania: March, 2015)
