Half a day laughing…
We conquer the night: the sea
Sings the infinite —

Impenitent Moment
Above the surf, we heard the gentle wind,
And felt its soft caress upon our necks;
Our many hopes, on which much had been pinned,
Seemed simple now, and not, as we had thought, complex –
For how, my friends, could love be wrong at heart,
When truth and honor spoke on our behalf?
When hope, itself, stepped up to do its part
And sing our song to clouds as waves joined in to laugh?
To share is human:
Sanibel Evening
And now, as one light leaves to rest,
A gentler one will take its place:
And sweet blue evening comes to call,
A veil across her bashful face.
And soft upon our feet, the sand,
While waves their lullaby do hum;
I close my eyes to feel the breeze,
And hear soft footsteps as you come
Up close to me, and place your head
Upon my shoulder next to me;
Faint music, distant, down the shore,
And one lone bird out on the sea
They sing to us of love and night;
My eyes are open to the sight
Of you, the shore, and everything —
And why you’re every song
I sing
To share is human:
Sojourn
Because the time we have is brief
And interlaced with fear and grief –
I’ll look at you and all we have
And stop to drink it in
Our life here’s like a melody
That’s only played for you and me;
With love the weary sorrower’s salve,
Our sojourn at life’s inn —
That’s everything
It ever could
Have been
To share is human:
A Logoleptic Love Story
She told him he was fainéant,
He said that she was puerile;
She said he was a recreant,
He said, “You’re pulsatile.”
She said, “You are a belletrist!
You up for conjugality?”
He said, “I am an amorist,
And love connubiality.”
And deep within their macarism
They felt felicific:
A species of polypsychism
Utterly salvific
To share is human:
Last Night, I Think
Last night, I think we drifted into sky
As silence fell upon us by the sea
The stars came out to greet us, one by one
With Cirrus there to guide, that bel esprit
And joined together, high above the earth
We plaited in and out and through the air
Amidst the Autumn’s offering of breeze
A type of dance, beneficence, or prayer
We soared together snugly, in our bond
Last night, I think
We had a glimpse
Beyond
