behind these windows and towers made by man

so many lives and stories
behind these windows.
hopes and dreams.
woes and joys.

view from the BQE

the birdie rock

we gather here
as a flock.
we have claimed
this birdie
rock.

off staten island

the storm approaches

the storm approaches,
away i fly.
above the earth,
i master the sky.

above staten island

when a heart breaks

when your heart is broken
it feels like all the pages were
torn from

planting fields

the book you need
to live by and
learn from.
you watch as
they fall,
like leaves crumpled
on a grassless
groundspace.

bees and flowers

bees and flowers
represent,
all the gifts from
heaven,
sent.
the partnerships
of living things.
the sweet musical
pattern that
makes the earthmother
sing.

sunlight dances

sunlight dances
we drink it in.
each moment
a world of
joys.

the poet tree

the poet tree
foundation strong.
built on a world
of sorrows and
joys.
soft colors
and brights.
too short days
and some
sleepless
nights.
