Dawn

Cresting on the horizon
The beautiful orange, red and gold
The world breaks into view
Light imbues all it touches
Waking the world, making it feel bold

Brighter now and harsher
The light remove the dark dank spaces
There is no place to hide
The wide and luminous blaze
Has cleared the shadows from faces

Treasured

We shared the rain for a while
But then the sky when blue
Led by your warm, radiant smile
The clouds hid from view
Days shared are golden
Treasured, precious and few
Love makes me bold in
All I say and do

Some Scraps of Poems

From now on I need to steel myself from the darkness,
My hard choices need to come swiftly now
One follow another in rapid succession
Time has come to rise to the action and make bold statements
Not always the popular decisions to bear the burdens
A life of single blessedness is a cursed choice
What is necessary is right in God's eye and mine

Staring through crisscrossed eyelashes

Looking for courage in diminutive frames

Time will come soon enough

When light explodes through shattered seconds

Experience the feeling of fractured repose

It Was Never Better

It Was Never Better

Times long gone are better forgotten

Those long encumbered woes

Stales smells and dead horses

And pretty maids all in a row

Bowers of women who never dance

Waiting for men to pick them

Hoping for a match to further their houses

And children to be the next victim

On and on the cycle goes

Never ceasing never halting

When will right the world?

When will stop this faulting?

Women everywhere be proud of who you are

Stand, be brave and bold

One day you will be counted

Make sure you break the mold
