Through the smoke
I can still see you
Standing
On the other side
Your eyes ablaze
With the fire
Set upon the bridge
That now severs us
No chance to cross
As flames touch the night
The fear of being scarred
Ever fuels the heat, until
There is nothing but ashes
Burning embers
Absent confessions
Wafting away in the breeze

Darkness comes
As daylight shines
Through crystal glass
Dancing about
Prisms of colors
Bouncing off of
Objects black as coal
Darkening still
The fireball diminishes
Leaving behind a cooling breeze
To stifle the heavy air
Tamping it down
Stomping like a small child
In a tantrum
Then light begins again
Slowly restoring
The colors of the Earth
And the sky ignites
As the celestial orbs
Take their rightful place
Among the heavens

I am excited to announce that my first book of poetry has just been released. I’m still pinching myself. I can’t tell you what an exhilarating feeling this is! I couldn’t have done this without the love and support of my family and my friends. To all of them I simply say Thank You….

I see a reflection in your eyes
Do I recognize the images
Is it the mirror to your soul
Will you bestow upon me
The door that opens, allowing me
To catch a glimpse of your desires
Will you share your innermost thoughts
Or quickly close the portal before
I find my way in, ever lost in you

Sometimes life makes you stop and take a good look around. On Friday morning, I lost a very dear friend, musician Jack Stevens . He was much too young to be taken from us but God needed him more. A true gentleman, I called him my Rock Star. We joked about being true Scorpions, but mostly we laughed, a lot.
This is for you, Jack….”see you later on down the line”
Jack Stevens
You were such a true friend
Always so kind-hearted
We are lost for words
Since you departed
I hear your voice
As you sing to me
My favorite song
Of course, “Amy”
You had a special light
That shone from within
Our lives were truly blessed
We laughed a lot
You made us smile
You truly were the best
Love you Jack …RIP
