This is a poem I wrote a while back.

All that you hold . . . more

When my time on earth is past and my
Ashes have been scattered to the wind,
Will you recall the sound of my voice and
Hear it echo somewhere in the distance?
Will your arms . . . more

WATCHING RHINE
It just lies here in its big
curve through Basel
on an early autumn
evening, possibly wanting

Settling old bones back down on bed for arthritic pets.
Silence has replaced you; now..we grieve and miss you old friend~

I tackled a job I'd dreaded so long
I slowly walked in and tried to be strong.
I grabbed the doorknob and gave a quick twist
The closet popped open and NOTHING missed!
I was . . . more

Mona Lisa Brown propagates
two-tone spider plants, talking
them through rebirth, through
re-becoming again a whole of
what they were cut from -
for they will grow whole

Being of sound mind and body

Including the horse farm which is unfortunately
In legal jeopardy due to the death

Don't ask about his mornings
What he likes in his coffee
or if he chases vitamins with protein drinks.
Don't ask about favorite new bands

This isn't beautiful anymore.
It doesn't inspire, doesn't even ache
and there is nothing of poetry left in it
except this last one that marks
the tired ebbing away of a shore battered . . . more

Weltschmerz of the Wolf
Ululate, long and hollow,
Echoing in the wind
Like a pebble
In a chasm of darkness.
Memories of open runs
Across forests and . . . more

Death brought great legends
And wreaths to rest upon his brow.
His dreams of peace, now fulfilled,
In a place of calm, comfort and warmth.
Sweetly his name is . . . more

Like sparkling Koi in a coral reef,
This quality of idea and capture.
Her eyes washed color all around,
With just a glance she stole feeling

I feel the ache
It surrounds my every bone
I can see the scars on my flesh
I remember each cut
Suddenly I'm drained.
I've never felt this cold.
My soul gasps:

Oh Rose as bright as yonder sun,
Which lights the world’s life never done,
And shows to me thy radiance true,
When shown reflected off of you.

Bad day.
Overwhelming emotions.
Can't function.
Ready to cry.
Ready to rage.
Ready to dissolve or explode.

Bound bundle of leafed stems tied at your belt,
Strong walking stick in hand, sprig of willow
Stuck through your straw hatband-
You posed for . . . more
