Do you ever think that
Poems
are just words
random thoughts
rearranged
everyday words
that people say
and think
casually
everyday
then a few of us
desperately
try to make a grab for them
capture them
and make them
more than they were ever meant
to be

 May 2021 My Dear Poet
Maria
The evergreen tree grows
The winds come and go
Raging fire turns to glow
Yet I still miss you so

Gray, the only color in sight
A burnt out star, no longer bright
An old batch of snow, once so white
The mysterious vanishing of the light

A tainted sliver of perfection
The uncertainty of my reflection
Numbing thoughts of your affection
New shades of gray in my collection
With this string
I do tie
your world
to mine
With this ring
I promise you
will be mine
With this ring
I engage
your world
to mine
With this ring
I am marrying you
With my heart
I will always love you.

I Wrote this to my husband for our 48th anniversary. May 25, 1973
Thankful for the doctors
I hope they see me through

St. Augustine in Ostia
Ever ancient, Ever new

Hakeem the Dream spun
Michael Jordan flew

Reno white in snow
Carolina blue

            Be true.
