Great American Notebook

Great American notebookTime to add our verseOr merely help to tread waterWhile we all surviveRinging the ship’s bellPutting on warm tunesHoning the proper wordsTo elevate our voice

Trading Euphemisms In The Dark

Trading euphemisms in the darkBlankets piled high on the bedFinding warmth between ourselvesLove inhabits where fear can’t treadSheets getting tangled in our bodiesChorus of breathing getting thickCherishing & celebrating each momentGrateful she still let’s me dip my wick

Sundown Brings On The Reduced Heat

Sundown brings on the reduced heat Wind whispering to sail with the tides Vapors tread quietly upon the feet Decisions enter & thoroughly abide Lonely bird settles down on the rails Experience brings on a sullen glow We cannot escape when life fails Currents grip & provide the undertow

William Butler Yeats

“But I, being poor, have only my dreams; I have spread my dreams under your feet; Tread softly because you tread on my dreams.” – William Butler Yeats Image by Brin Weins from Pixabay
