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
(Villanova Pennsylvania: August, 2015)
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)

Great questions, Kurt!
I’d imagine the answer
to the three would be...
yes, yes, and yes...
in my humble opinion!

Thanks Laura
This is thoughtful love.. the kind that lasts!
I appreciate that. Thanks
I see you’ve added a
second gem! Its last
stanza is absolutely
beautiful...
especially the words,
“New light from within
—here forever to shine”
Just for you 🙂
I’m honored! 🙏🏻
