“Hey, That’s No Way to Say Goodbye …”
was up
wandering around
at 3
and turned on the TV
switching channels
and then the picture changed
Roberta Flack’s face
words on the screen
died yesterday
on a Monday
at home
at peace
hope she heard the keys
as she drifted
away
the beauty of her voice
stays here
TL
The Gift of Love
pulled along
the beaten path
by a puppy new
discovering
its first Spring
in bloom
looking up
at the blue blue sky
bewildered by
the drop of rain
with wonder
he feels it
drip drop
on the tip top
of his halo head
and laughs
TL
Resilient
the sun
gold on the ground
bright in the sky
winking in water
dancing in leaves
showing the rain
the way the wind moves
… on
and through
