Musings on Life, Love, and Linguine-Poetry & Writing
Gypsy Wild
How magical their world must be
Viewed through the eyes of an opal child
To be innocent and with vivid color, see
How magical their world must be
letting thoughts run loose, soaring free
dancing through life like a gypsy, wild
How magical their world must be
Viewed through the eyes of an opal child

Angels on a Misty Shore
She walks with angels on a misty shore.
The morning is damp and cold, but she does not feel it.
As the frost smoke rises over the glassy lake, she stops, reflecting.
At that moment, a magnificent large mouth bass escapes the water,
breaking the silence.
Its powerful leap sends echoing waves to the lake’s sandy edge.
As they lap, lap, lap and caress her bare feet, she looks at the angels,
her eyes aglow with a far off memory.
“I caught the biggest fish of my life right here. “
They laugh, “We know. Your joy soared all the way to heaven.
God walked around with the biggest smile on his face all day long.”
Mother dear, now gone
you were my port,
my shelter in life’s storm.
At times, I stumble and fall
and there you are
cradling me again in your sweet arms.

Author’s Note: Reposting this in honor of my Mother. Today would have been her 90th birthday.
Happy birthday Mom. I hope there are fishing poles and lakes
in heaven and you are teaching the angels how to set a hook!

The End of Innocence
He was a musician; I was naive
Caught in his Rock ‘n Roll web
I the butterfly; enchanted and intrigued
Hungry for affection; ignoring mis-steps
Caught in his Rock ‘n Roll web
He feasted on my wide-eyed innocence
Hungry for affection; ignoring mis-steps
Playing my heart like his stringed instrument
He feasted on my wide-eyed innocence
Devouring my love; a deprived soul
Playing my heart like his stringed instrument
In my heaving chest lies; a gaping hole
Devouring my love; a deprived soul
I the butterfly; enchanted and intrigued
In my heaving chest lies; a gaping hole
He was a musician; I was naive

And I Fell
He captivated me with his voice singing clear and strong,
While his fingers strummed a melody on the beat up guitar
One look into his bluest ocean eyes, so crystal calm,
And I fell… And I fell…And I fell…
Although the time we loved exploded like a brilliant shooting star
Leaving jagged scars…Leaving jagged scars…
The only memories left are the remnants of a broken heart,
And the dulled remembrance of his dazzling smile.

Grand Design
Miracles occur every day if only we choose to see
God gives us heaping dollops of beauty and majesty
It takes a sprinkling of imagination, with spoonfuls of hope and love
to understand his grand design, when he mixes from above
People of every shape and color with beliefs in their God,
whether it be Jehovah, Buddha, Brahman, or Allah
And in the rising hours, we should see we are all one
The common element in our beliefs, the one secret ingredient
that should bring us all together, is the wish for world peace

Living My Dream
Joy these days comes from watching the woodpeckers flit about
as they try their best to drink from the hummingbird spout
And the flock of playful lovebirds, with brilliant feathers green
gathering ’round the bird bath, cheering, and chittering
while I live my dream
