Easter Morning
Life springs from past life.
The fresh green blades of grass blaze
With sunlit dewdrops.
A dove selects sticks,
Her belly laden with eggs
As she basket weaves;
Every molecule on cue.
Earth's clockwork code,
Like a time release capsule;
Patient and precise.
Inhale, know, exhale.
Something died so you could live,
A most precious trade.
Grasping Lineage
For My Dad and Lucas
There's something greater
Than the hearts pleasure passing
Through their holding hands
The simple gesture
Unfolding like a silent
Changing of the guards
Their like particles bonding
Michael Angelo
Couldn't have created a
Painting more touching
This time old exchange
Of loves replenishment, of
Immortality

Grasping Lineage has lingered in my mind sense I first read it and remains my favorite, thank you for both of these tender poems to herald spring, I so enjoy your work and will get your book on Mike's Kindle- I can't wait to read it...:0).Thanks
this is great! How much trouble is it to get something published on Kindle or for an ebook? I have been considering it, but have not done much about it yet.
Wonderful poems and kudos on your book. ;)
