Fly away,
oh, Blackbird fly.
Lift your wings
into the sky.
Fly to the beat
of a different drum.
Survey all you see,
flapping your wings,
as you soar,
over the path,
of life in play.
Enjoy your time,
for I know you,
won't stay.
You were my strength,
when the World was dim.
Go your own way,
where ever you must.
Be the brave soul.
In God we do trust.

It looms in the dark
with the voices I hear.
A most troublesome thought
of an unknown fear.

The sound of silence,
a sound which is cold,
as a wind from the North
is blowing. The chill of
the air is everywhere,
cutting through your
lightweight clothes. No matter
the class act you were,
or the sordid life which
you led. What good is
this life, when there is
no joy, no kindness,
left in the World?

The hammer fell,
not once or twice;
one more swing,
now it's thrice.

A hammer beats on
sheets of tin,
making surface marks,
using the peen.

Artistic touch, will begin,
when working on
a scene, placed within
and far beyond.

See the surface,
no longer smooth;
with each stroke
for a short peruse.

I cannot stay.
I must return,
for today's light;
no more to burn.

A patio, secluded, a cozy nook,
I write this verse,
with pen in hand,
surveying this choice meeting place,
where couples, two by two,
meet for a private rendezvous.

A fascination.
An infatuation.
An attraction,
Puppy love.
For jealousy,
or envy
and hate,
why do
we have
to berate,
the love
of another,
more different
than we.
As a
total stranger
was pulled
from the
beautiful Sea.
What happens
now to
the most
beautiful word,
for hate
does not
belong here,
in this,
our land.
Hoping you
now understand.

Go away.
Go away now.
Search for the truth,
search for the how.
Don't wait for tomorrow,
you must do it now.

Shades of night,
replace the day,
as night creatures,
come out to be,
a scary moment,
if you were there,
without a light.

How do you spell ignorant,
selfish or dumb.
Please get vaccinated,
before you succumb
and pass the virus
on to your loved one.
