Today is still
Like I could do anything
The trees are quiet
As if I asked them to stop
The songs of the birds
Are the spirit of the wind
And I can dance
(though peace makes me nervous)
The washing machine hums
Like clean
My skin is mine
And my hands are numb
My cell phone brings clear messages
From the world
From my love
(though quiet sings a dirge)
Today is still
Like I could do anything
The words are mine
And my soul is numb
The music keeps its secrets
I keep my wine
And I mourn
Dear readers, this is my third book of poems, and inside are a special collection of what have turned out to be not only MY personal favorites, but also the favorites of many of YOU. Some of these have never been available in print before...
