Contemplating the nature of duty…
Cause of Such
It’s words like duty
The cause of such abhorrence
Honor and beauty

A New Star In The Sky
Contemplating the wonder of life…
Excerpted from – A New Star In The Sky
I looked up and there it was
New star in the sky
Why’s it there? Or just because?
Beauty way up high
Doesn’t really matter why
Only that it’s there
And I watch it with a sigh
Shine without a care…

Lightning’s Leap
Contemplating the power and beauty of nature…
Excerpted from – Lightning’s Leap
Lightning rips the night sky
Children flinch even while deep asleep
Thunder cracks in the wake of sudden lightning’s leap
Hear nature’s awesome cry
Watching out the window
Nothing there but light filled explosions
Darkness darker under the solid sheets of rain
Storms delivering renewed life as well as pain…

Bleak Landscape
Of the grim and of redemption…
Bleak Landscape
The sparse rain spells doom
Barren in this bleak landscape
Desert flowers bloom

The Sun Rises
Contemplating love, commitment, and fear…
The Sun Rises
What is it you fear
The sun rises, then it sets
Lovers grow too near

In Wonder
Contemplating the beauties of mystery…
In Wonder
In worlds of wishes
Life invested in wonder
Chasing Eclipses

Aurora Borealis
Still safe what relief

January Now
Of life and beauty…
January Now
A pug tries to walk
But it’s January now
Boots get round the block

Definition of Beauty
Contemplating beauty…
Definition of Beauty
She’s become my definition of beauty
She was always hot
And I can’t repeat lots of the compliments I got
About how shapely
Her shape was
A dream
Then and now that’s still the same
But thru the years everything’s found a new frame
And seems
That because
Of all that she’s come to be
And has taught
Me. This and all that she is has brought
Me to see she is the definition of beauty
