A quiet eerie little town
just waiting n watching
all the folks who are
now asleep
Sleep well
for in the morrow
the town will awake
to all the hustle n bustle
of the people on the streets
Sleep well, my friend
Sleep well
for in the morrow
who knows who may come
a-calling
Sleep well towns-folks
sleep well
Sleep Well

To Climb Higher (an early rendition)

A vision runs through
My head
Of a man
And his struggle
To climb a mountain
The struggle I see
Is the man,
He has no legs
How can he do it
How can anyone
Overcome
The fears, the hardship
There must be the struggle
The pain to carry on
The gain of triumph
These sensations
Go through my mind
Over and over again
I begin to imagine
My own struggles
As if I am climbing
My own mountain
I climb higher
And higher and higher
The upper climb
The struggle
Ever upward
The climb is challenging
Yet uplifting
As my accomplishment
Comes ever closer
Almost there
I can see it
It is within my grasps
Yeah, at last
I’m there
Great joy feels my soul
My accomplishment is complete
I thank those who helped me along the way
(many years ago I choreographed a dance to this poem and
it was performed by the Moving Dance Images company with the help of a dear friend)
the gift

the gift
a secret once given
of an image once portrayed
only in one’s mind
now come to life
rarely found
was this one secret
I had to know
it would be cherished
or at least
appreciated
I looked at you
one day and saw
you were the one
the one who
would receive
this one special gift
how to present
it to you
so you would know
it was special
I found a place
to hold the gift
so dear
dear friend
please keep this close
and pass it along
a smile is so dear
it awakens so much
keep the joy
and pass on the gift
Smile…Heartsmile…
