Poem: Found in Plain Sight

Slender paper burning
Wisps into the Kansas night
Carrying away my memories
On thick dank fumes

Poem: Understanding from Within

When I try to see the world
I become like a blind man
Unable to see beyond self
Too big in its immenseness
Of diversity and divergence
To understand with one set of eyes

Poem: The Living Part Two

They walk the old boardwalk hand in hand
The first place she asked to go on vacation
Telling him it reminded her of her youth
He agreed wanting to see her smile
Like she used to smile when they first fell in love
Instead he saw sadness in her eyes
And a quietness that reflected past memories
That she still hides from him after all these years
