we are all gypsies | we live everywhere and nowhere | in our minds
refurbished brownstones | witness to a world in flux | neighborhoods moved on
Oh sun deceiving | with your big inviting smile | day's cold as ice
fear kills, love heals | do you know this in your bones? | listen to the voices
sentinels stare down | as winds rip at their faces | sky kisses their heads
the heart of America | bejeweled in springtime | praying for peace
beauty surfaces | sometimes when you least expect | erases all doubt
someday we may not | have to resist injustice | daily pray for peace
open as we fall | our hearts through hands become wings | to fly towards the light
one days dreaming | a world of people loving | themselves and others
there's a certain light | the green shimmering of spring | through newborn shoots
those good seeds we plant | may flower into sunshine | tomorrow
sun smiles towards ocean | bay, a teal mirror | reflection of our hearts
O fine jade vine | Amazonia castles | behind your curtains
poet-warrior | gone on to his green home | forever feliz ~ in memory of C.M.
envy, a strong loss of love | most bitter enemy | a knife turned inward
going 'round and 'round | on the down side of up | best take one step back
life's delicate | petals spring up from red dust | earth alive with promise
rainy day blues | no cure for the common cold | we eat chicken soup
we are not alone | we have our Orisahs who | shoo the demons home
ocher etched dawn | morning bled out of the night | earth refused to still ~ Nippon where sun is born | where cherry blossoms take wing
blessed to be alive | count the good things and lessons | smiling like the sun
we are the flowers | birthed after being fishes | swimming for nine months
women holding up | half the sky, no denying | we need world peace now
books saved my life | when I thought I could not live | made new worlds my home
let peace be power | put love before greed and hate | to heal the world whole
folding love into | moments birth smiles and memories | rich chocolate bundt cakes
oh insomnia | not awake or fully sleep | just beyond reach
covering cold ground | last night's snow a light blanket | tomorrow heat wave
snow flakes falling up | white delicate butterflies | disappearing acts
it's the same old news | different names and faces | the fear of "other"
the hawkins' sounding | lake Michigan about moans | can't figure winter
arranging flowers | love blooms in words on pages | changing energy
