To Love

Lily majestic entangelment To love need not spark the embers of passion

Nor tread the spirit with uneasiness

For to love is to grow at ease in comfort and understanding

To love need not entwine the spirit in wonder and lingering turmoil

For to love is to walk joyfully in peace and pageantry 

Childhood Memories

Gordon childhood photo

Waiting for the life to bloom

Looking for the pie

Dancing in the dining room

And chasing butterflies

Calling on the kinfolks

Listening for the rain

Buying simple brand names

And playing table games

Checking with the weatherman

Skipping through the park

Crying in the shadows

Nothing ever so dark
