Undoor Of Time
Each day I glide through undoor of time
to walk with my beloved in the park,
I stop and feel strange beauty of despair
as dead leaves drift from hungry naked trees,

Fishing On The Lake
Listening to Johnny Cash country songs,
Grendel drives his green pickup truck to work
at the refrigerator factory
past the lake where he loves to fish on Sundays,
but slams on the brakes when he thinks he sees

Essence Of Our Happiness
Reluctant to understand why trees cry,
Candice wanders out glass doors of high school,
along high chainlink fence of the sports field,
past restaurants, clothing stores, and trinket shops,
then sits on wood

Addiction To Liberty
Cracks in the mirror of the universe
are not cracks that open my heart to love,
so I walk clean cement sidewalk of hope
to catch the falling star of solitude
and use its liquid fire to heal my heart
that mirrors

Virgin Mary Of America
Relentless beauty of the daffodil,
so golden bright in delicate contempt,
inspires the Virgin Mary to rebel
against oppression of the police state,

Secure Global Democracy
When the war is won and the killing done
I put the four-leaf clover in my gun,
then dance in hall of mirrors with the ghost
who laughs with innocent faith when I boast
about how we defeated tyranny

to scatter snowflakes as tears of the dead
that sprout from misery of the blood-soaked sand
swirled by too many voices in the wind
that blow snow from high mountains of

Hollow Flux Of Fate
We shall embrace the hollow flux of fate
to scribe clever proverbs on cement walls
which reckons conduct of the lawless gang
who gamble perverse notions of despair
in fraught rebellion of the lonely fool

Sing About The Dark Times
To spark and fuel the faint light of hope
so it shines brighter in looming dark times,
we sing about the dark times with bold courage
to help our hearts endure destructive change
as we evade stark nothingness

Here In This Meadow
Whistling as she glides in the forest meadow,
Cholena gathers ripe berries and herbs,
wraps fish in clay to bake it in hot ashes,
then sings while she feeds her cute baby boy,
"Katonah, who dreams with eyes of my

We Sing For Life
We sing about what breaks our hearts the most,
and present noble visions of the good
we hope we can achieve where we fail the worst,
for what we praise with eager heart of hope
is what we feel we lose with grim despair
Cottage By The Elm
Trinkets people made with creative hands
flicker in sunlight as they twist and turn
in river breeze blowing them where they hang
from limbs of the ancient elm on the hill
where ghosts of people who lived in the vale
