Beginning with:



Ode to a feeling that won't be expressed

Cluttersome words, bothersome phrases

pins to destroy beauty

staking a feeling out, making

it stark

Ideas like butterflies, silken, colorful

full of flight...



Ending with:



...I can accept that today 

and twirl and whirl some days hence 

in dances of joy, 

and in this tear sodden shirt feel her peace flow 

in to the loving heart inside mine.

This collection will lead you on a journey through reflections on grief, insights about love, and observations on the world around us. 



...you see what you wanna see in the woods

and it stamps the words 

eternal love

with reality.
