      Summer: A Love Story

      It is a squalid time. The body grows tired of being a body. Sweat. Always. A thin film of it on the skin. Do not say dewy. Do not say glisten. I dream of endless green. Of wet. Of rain hammering the Earth. Of buds sprouting. I want to insist on life

      Whispers in the Wind - David Rogers

      A LENTO

      Old is a soul that can no longer dream

      Cold be the sinews that bind one in hate

      Bold is the person that champions the small

      Sold be the peace of a country irate.

      Right be the cause when there’s children involved

      Light at the end of the tunnel we see

      Tight be the shackles of those who oppress

      Night falls on all of us eventually.

      A PRAYER TO HUMANITY

      The gifts of our beloved God

      Are seen from every mountainside

      To see the leaves of aspen trees

      Twinkling with woodland pride

      The columbines and daffodils

      So lovely when they start to bloom

      To watch them dance upon the wind

      With honeybees around them loom

      A wolf howls on a moonlit night

      As bears play on the dark terrain

      Wood owls now will keep the watch

      Despite the cold and misty rain

      I thank you God for nature’s gifts

      For it fills my heart with mirth

      There’s such purity in nature

      This gift called Mother Earth . . .

      A SADNESS PASSES THROUGH

      Eight years I have been without you

      And still a sadness passes through

      A screaming wind catches my hair

      My mind is spinning like a bicycle wheel.

      My path is bleak now, without you

      Much like a sadness passing through

      Loping aimlessly my head hung low

      No handkerchief to hold my tears.

      O how I wish that life was a sprint

      To end this sadness passing
