WHAT WE'RE MADE OF by Alfred Jonas
Though we're made of flesh and bone,
That can be broke by sticks and stones,
And though we laugh and though we cry,
There's more to us than meets the eye.
And though we feel the hot and cold,
And though our bodies do grow old,
Through the years we shed our skins,
And time reveals the void within.
Oh what is in your heart of hearts,
Gold or sliver, jewels or art,
Wine and song and happy times,
When you look what do you find.
At times I find an empty place,
That all the years just can't erase,
And though I pray and though I try,
I just can't fill that space inside.
Except with memories and dreams,
Of all the things and might have beens,
And all the wonders and despair,
Of loves and losts and heres and theres.
A heart is made of joys and pains,
Of rainbows, sunshine, drops of rain,
Of symphonies by stars on high,
And hawks and doves and autumn skies.
And walks on down the dusty lanes,
And scents and hues we can't explain,
Our hearts are all we've got to show,
But will they stay or will they go?
Oh when our time on earth is done,
Please let our hearts oh with us come.
Happy New Year Everyone

may you all be blessed in the new year
LIFE IS THE TREE
The clouds hung with gray marbled margins
They wept as the winds swept the streets
The sun burns above and beyond them
A constancy of forever, eternity, blessedness More >

That Was I
My self-deceptions have colored my life for so long now
The deep dark blues of solemn hours were of my own making More >

I wait for the Springtime,
When all that frozen emptiness becomes life once again.
It seems like winter’s clawing silence hovers o’er me
And ice droplets ping against tin roofs. More >

Mistletoe the Merry Mouse:
The Special Visit
Mistletoe sat there cleaning her whiskers. They sparkled in the morning sunshine that filtered through the old house. She looks up and sees the dust motes dancing about her. A wondrous winter day begins again. It is time to start her daily tour of the house. It must be kept in order and everything in its proper place. Her long tail twitched and her round ears searched the air for sounds. All seemed quite the usual this morning.

What Manner of Magic?
What manner of magic enters the world,
When lovers cross into timelessness?
This ship of fools never docks
But goes forever on into the night
Lights twinkling on and off
Eyes shining, hearts beating. More >

Like Children on the Shore
The burning of a thousand stars in space
Cannot dim the fire you light within
As they glow in cold-frozen space
Your warmth walks beside me here
To hold my sadness and calm my fear More >

Wall of Doubt
From the depths, I look within,
I gaze upon a prison of my own construct
The dark windows and cold floors
Engulf me
Freeze me
Swallow up all the light More >

Dusk leads to darkness in the city, and there is no video jacket that captures my imagination and the dark mirror of channel one flickers on the desk. The surface is on the horizontal plane and it holds an empty book, with pages as white as the Antarctic ice cap vanishing into the line between horizon and the sky. More >

The United States as fictional backdrop for the earthly stage on which we enact our personal drama. Chalkmarks across the landscape demarcate boundaries for the zones of interaction. Jigsaw puzzle pieces of states and county lines tumble out of the box onto the table. More >
