Without Your love where would I be?
A heart cold and barren
A soul at war
Not a word of knowledge,
to set me free
A wretch,dark,foul,
unworthy,base and false
Floating in a sea of trouble
Not noticing . . . more

In my desperation Lord I cried out to you
Will you hear me or turn me away
With a heart so heavy and full of pain
I have often wondered what you could possibly see in me
All my life I’ve been . . . more

Minds accumulate their own stores of belief
Harvesting words
To squeeze dry in the press
Crushing

To dress the salad of . . . more

On the island of flowers
This day of spring
Frisky butterflies on heat
Sumptuous wings
Free spirits
In tender moments
Of absolute bliss
Bonding in secret places of

My dear creator, what can I say?
Despite all your gifts and blessing,
When you order us, we don't obey,
Yet, your mercy is above all guessing.

In the beggining you showed me your mercy
Opening my eyes to myself
Exposing, without judgement or contention
My sins and oppression released
With all of your infinate knowledge
You gave me wisdom, . . . more

ISIS AS CHILD AT RIVER
My star has fallen from the sky
the star that I'd chosen to pray to.
Has it done this just to terrify
and leave me wanting to die, too.
The sky is high and far away

In tear stained memories
I have sought your presence
Instead, your absence becomes
the omnipresent loneliness of one abandoned by God
So have I tried to transform
your powerless love

Loving Father
I suffer.
In love, I watch my children.
Son plants green cacti,
deep into the fine, brown soil.
Pleased – eager.
He learns, looks to me – curious.
Daughter marvels . . . more

Small shards of tear and blood stained glass
lying in the grass
That's all that's left of what was someone's heart
Black into gray, gray into white
curling up into the clouds
Ashes flying . . . more

May free from fear!
Far away from tear!
Here, there and every where!
The whole world is one family,
And we all are its member. . . . more

For Padre Flavio Zavala, my first mentor, who taught me a little Spanish, a lot of Latin, how to play chess, and what I needed to know about finding God in the small things.

Don't let the people fool you,
Don't let them make you think,
That they are better than you,
Or that they know the missing link.
Doesn't matter what you wear,
Or what fancy car you drive. . . . more

For as long as I can remember,
Great people have joined in my journey
And turned into fire my joy that was but ember,
But then have all left and made my route more thorny.
Due to the absence of their . . . more

My Violin
Our rosin powders mingle in the case,
Where, fallen from the belly and the bow,
Each particle trapped in the velvet space
Becomes our common . . . more

The universe is so immense
It's beyond anything I can sense
If understanding would come to me
I'd thank the God or gods that be . . . more

Its letters are like stars shining in the skies,
When our eyes combine all those stars to write,
That’s when the stars start to shine in the . . . more
