I'm Not One to Question God - Poem

I'm not one

to question God

after all,

against the odds

you found me

lured me with

your charm

..I can't help

but get lost

in your arms

think of you

from afar,

I know you

have doubts

while I have faith,

I guess,

it comes down to

"What are the odds?"

but really,

I'm not one

to question God

and everything is but

a breath in space.

Love is not.. (From "Two of Cups")

Love is not
        a diamond
        a display
        a wedding

Love is not
        two becoming one
        a perfect fit
        sublime all the time

Love is
       a pure expression
       so utterly simplistic --

Love is kind.

Summery Day - A Poem (From "Four Folded Corners")

A tribute to summer and those fab beach days

Across the deck,
I lie splayed --
an upturned star

a squinty-eyed face
gazing at a brilliant,
baby blue sea

umbrellas flutter
nearby, like sting rays
or pulsing jellies

this inverted world

I wish
to be a fish
in this fluid

summery day,
where I'd ever so slowly
swim away.

Trump Inauguration Jan 20, 2017 - A Trump Presidency Poem

"When you open your heart to Patriotism, there is no room for prejudice."
- President Donald J. Trump

We have come
the under-estimated, forgotten,
      awakened,
to bear witness before Lincoln

a nation rebirthing

under a pyrotechnic display
on this, our most hallowed
national ground,

where walked our
fore fathers --
the tempo builds

amid fanfare
trumpeting a new day
of Patriotism,

standing shoulder
to shoulder
one country, all citizens,
shall rise.
