One for you, Q.
      Patience.
         Hope!

Soul sorrow
In my solitude
         Sigh

Portland's Japanese garden
              Sunny day
                 Arigato

I traveled around a bit
Europe, Asia, Israel
Time tick tocks
I grow old

Fun for my sons
A home
Love
Go bold.

So many poets are mentally ill
Emotion overflows
Individual consciousness - adios
But our soul or spirit grows

In gratitude for my father
In gratitude for my sons
Quiet. Quiet. Quietly.
Surely She's the One!
