Comes Divine Intervention
Music
Silence
Mutability
Living
The road less traveled
Took me to a beach at night
Money isn’t everything
Music
Silence
Mutability
Living
Dissatisfied genius
Like a bird in a cage
Whose song has ceased
Strange inventions
Act I- Birth
Act II-Childhood
Act III- Adulthood
Act IV- Death
Music
Silence
Mutability
Living
The awful night thunders of revenge
Going for a walk
I’m going home
Dissatisfied genius
Strange inventions
I’m not alone here
From way up above
Comes divine intervention.

At The Dinghy
Down at the dinghy
He wore khaki shorts
White t-shirt of Jerome the Ostrich
Playing the violin
Tanned skin
Sun bleached hair-just like his mother’s
He’s an admiral-nobody knows it
She tosses him the key chain
It lands square on his lap
She sits in the stern seat
The captain on her lap
She rocks him back and forth
Kisses the back of his neck
Musses his hair
“Sailors don’t cry,baby, sailors never cry-
Only when their ships go down
Only when they’re shipwrecked-on rafts, with nothing to drink-“
He laughs, he giggles, he bounces on his mama’s lap.

SHADY VALLEY
She checked her map again
Excitement coursed through her
Where is Shady Valley-the place of the shadow of death?
Maybe this wasn’t the right way
Discouragement fatigued her
She took one wrong turn
She was glimpsing a new world
The vision faded
She took a deep breath
She kicked at a rock
Fighting to keep her balance
Tomorrow would tell
If she lived or died
Her soul too strong
To die in her fragile flesh.
