Epitaph for an Empath on Her Birthday
Lord take me far, far away from here
On the wings of a silver dove,
An Empath land where people really love,
A place of bliss where harshness and hatred
Don’t exist.
Take me far, far away from here
Where Empaths needn’t fear

In a Fascinated Slant 🐝👀
A Biggie Bee
Hovers from flower to flower
Sucking up nature’s natural power,
Drinking deeply from the bosoms of the plant.
The wonders of nature I cannot recant,
As I cock my head at a fascinated slant.Now at eye level to see what I can
See of a fascinating he.The Boss 👩🦱
Dedicated to Michelle MacDavid and Annie Amos,
and all the self-made women I know like Samantha LeBoeufThere’s a Queen Bird
Perched on the on the cornice
Of the house.
She’s a boss,
A boss of herself and no one else.
She’s at rest in her purpose today,
As she takes joy
In all she can survey,
For she is a boss.…Read More

A flash of wing,
An imperceptible blur,
And then I see it,
A momentary bird.
A buzz, and suddenly gone

Inside my mind you stay
months lost alone apart
each attempt killed me
no way out of my horror.Your past another one
you have a beautiful mind
but no one could save
your childhood’s end.Days between suicide
attempts to keep you
darkness closes thought
you are so loved & wanted.

His “Old Rugged Cross”
is etched in stone.It always stands tall,
Although sometimes alone.It’s higher than
The highest mountain of pain.Will live…Will survive
The people’s disdain.My “Old Rugged Cross
Is etched in stone.Only He can save me.
Only He alone.That “Old Rugged Cross”
