if i had a magic wand...

if i had a magic wand i would wave away, all the sorrows i feel today.
if i had a magic wand, i would make you once again young.
without a care in the world, not watching your bodies come undone.
if i had a magic wand, i would gladly erase, all the sadness
i see in your face.
i would spread love and joy, harmonious tunes.
not these

tragedies and mysteries, encrypted
in runes

along the road

chaos, cacophony
a symphony of
sightsounds.
no greater music
heard,
than when by
color, surround.

remember me as a rose...for my mother

remember me as a rose,
she quietly said,
as she lay her head down
on her bed.
remember me when my
petals were bright,
not weak and falling
into the night.
remember me
full of color and sound.
at times not easy
to be around.
remember me as i
try to remember myself.
now the darkness approaches,
no longer in stealth.

up the street, still holding on

the light is gone

the light is gone,
but a

flicker remains,
shining through her
terror and pain.

rhodes

around the corner

life piles on loads,
but we do not
implode.
we are blessed
to still be
walking upon
its roads.

so tired she was

outside the building

so tired she was,
frazzled and frayed,
worn to the nubs,
by torments,
swayed.

a circle of birds

birdtree morning

a circle of birds,
together they draw,
love for each other
and so much
more.
