THE POET at 88 years of age...

Passions a constant

Sounds that live within each cell

Words letter by letter in revelation

the WHY of it all questioned

the knowing lived and expressed

the feelings real 

a yesterday, a moment past 

all held in memory

the time ever in the NOW.

and I pray, quell not these passions

hold to and live the light perceived

the dreams, the visions, the taunts conceived

the quake, the storm, earth in rebellion and grace 

this poet's word from heart, from soul to trace 

sounding echoes of times past, present, and yet to come

the will of GOD, the will of Self, in ways known and done

the Muse in presence, GOD, in HIS blessings unto me

and so I listen and feel the truths gifted, gifted,  from THEE.
