that shines
where there was once
only darkness.

do pigeons meditate

do pigeons in those silent moments
ponder as they plan to
wander.
do they evaluate in an
existential sense
where they are going
and where they went.

memorial day

memorial day

memorial day

On memorial day we honor those who have served
The army, air force, marines, the navy , the reserves
We honor those who fought so that we could be free
To enjoy our careers, our friends, our families
We honor those who made the ultimate sacrifice
So we would not pay the worst possible price
To be enslaved, our freedoms torn
Into a lifeless world our children would be born.
This is not about being in favor of war
We all hate the bloodshed, the pain, the gore
This is about people who did what had to be done
Here is hoping that one day,
Wars will be none.

and this includes our four legged friends,
of loyalty, love and valor
even after the end♥

are slipping past.

i will embrace
even as the petals slowly
fall around
my

for by love,

lovely when sunshine
behind the clouds,

how life was really
quite like a rhyme
in its

todays and future

along for

as i watch

as i watch spring's crowing glow
the red white and greens
i marvel at the wonders that
existed before and will when
i am no longer here to
revel in their gifts.
as i watch each bud unveil
the new life it carries
no questions asked.
my eyes engulf,
my spirit drinks in
hoping to never forget
this beauty.
never enough
and never
too much.
