My newest poem :)
Unanswered Questions
A strange sickness spreads
across our land.
Seeds of hatred, leeching,
Worms, breeding
multiplying..
Vicious, heartless, ruthless
cold.
An infant cries
mournful wails of hunger
A mother injects her vein
with temporary hope.
Father, deaf to the tears of his children,
starts over and over
with someone else.
Compassion…
overlooked for greed.
What corner
still harbors love?
Are faces upturned,
at all?

Your soft remembrance continues;
DAMAGING DERECHO POSSIBLE THURSDAY - If you have friends or family anywhere from the Ohio Valley to New England, share this post or give them a call. An outbreak of severe storms capable of extremely damaging winds is likely Thursday. In case you are wondering, a derecho is a long-lived, widespread, damaging wind event associated with a fast-moving band of thunderstorms. Notice the pinkish, purple area with the black hatches over it. In this area there is a 45% chance of damaging winds/large hail within 25 miles of a point. Some of the winds could exceed 75 mph. A Derecho produces very few tornadoes. Straight-line winds are the primary concern.

If you find me following
Close upon your heels,
Slow the mirage a bit
Let me meet you,
Eye to eye, tooth to tooth.
Hear my inward groaning
Place a handle on my door
Peddle me backwards
Out of the closet Into daylight.
Tie my laughter into knots About your head,
And tear my screams from your belly
Into the night.
Damn the wasted inversion
I’ve quartered and settled this.
Leave me to the ramblings
I won’t stay upon your heels.

Her eyes, pale refraction of sorrow
through distance
Not replaced
There heaved silence
Relegation and pure slopes.
Hail, the reeds tousle and sway
To some unknown rhythm; One we're dying to know.
Catering to unseen dictation: The kind we're unable to regret
We kindle, lest we retire
Lest we exit
Or worse, lest we forget.

If you have a moment.. please vote for this link for me. It will breathe new life into my small town which is dependent on the historic park for bringing in tourism. The two years it was closed due to previous poor management, the whole area suffered.. thank you in advance.

To laugh often and love much; to win the respect of intelligent persons and the affection of children … to appreciate beauty; to find the best in others; to give of one's self; to leave the world a bit better … to have played and laughed with enthusiasm and sung with exultation; to know even one life has breathed easier because you have lived ... this is to have succeeded! ~Ralph Waldo Emerso
