      Imagining

      I’ve heard people say

      It’s a waste of time

      The exploration of dreams

      Not being who we are

      Or seem to be.

      Someone living out fantasies

      Inside a dream …

      Has been into, and has seen

      More of life than you or I

      By just …

      Imagining.

      Eclipse

      Oh full moon so bright

      Misty clouds roll in darkness

      Their shadow past your face

      So near they challenge your light

      You have made things clear

      Clouds could never take your place

      You have been around for years

      We lionize your presence

      And have come to expect

      When dark shadows cover your light

      You to reappear

      Oh full moon so bright

      Tonight listen to my silent lips

      You have proven yourself worthy

      In never to have been replaced

      By an eclipse.

      Moonlight

      At night it comes

      Sneaking, looping

      Above darkened clouds

      With its light full and bright

      Glistening , reflecting

      Upon the creek below.

      Amber glow exposing life

      Along the creek’s bank

      Possums, raccoons, muskrats

      On the prowl, a mouse nosing around

      Wondering what goes on

      Falls victim to the talons of an owl.

      Life along the creek’s bank scatters

      Possums, raccoons, muskrats in flight

      As darkened clouds

      Finally cover the moonlight.

      Aghast

      If you were to fly well above the clouds

      There doesn’t seem to be much left below

      It all seems to evaporate

      To lovers it may seem misty

      As if looking down Niagara Falls.

      Curves, peaks, and valleys

      Without abandon of the Grand Canyon

      The high and mighty waves of California

      And Hawaii while surfers hold back the wall

      As the ocean unfurls into its collapse.

      There will be songs to sing

      Words and music freshly born

      Ears will listen as couples dance

      Hold hands, hug, and kiss

      Into the past reminisce

      Tunes will always last

      But when you fly well above the clouds

      Your heart will pound …

      And you will be held aghast.

      Lovely Earth

      You grow weary as days pass

      You lay still, motionless

      In full rotation without a rod

      Aging in years as dry grass

      As we await our father

      And only God.

      Your days are like those of years ago

      When one meets another just as old

      Earth my lovely earth

      Resting on the shoulders of Space

      Peopled in and out by the human race

      Turning at a glorious pace

      Earth our lovely earth

      For you we were born,

      Earth our lovely earth for you we shall fight

      Though foreign menace may threaten

      No harm
