new assignment

today saint michael
has a brand new assignment
to be by her side... 🦊❤️🙏


raindrops and ripples

oh - it’s raining - oh
it’s pouring - this old man
wants to be snoring 🦊❤️

 

ignorance is bliss

mysterious house
your unknownness tickles my
imagination 🦊❤️

 

votive candles

as the years move on
more and more candles burning
for those here - and not 🦊❤️

 

if trees could talk

locked in many rings
history of long ago
oh if trees could talk 🦊❤️



 

cast of characters

the reds of last year
are still taking center stage
green’s a rising star 🦊❤️

 

thin-crusted

the dumb things “they” do
makes me consider all the 
dumb things that “i” did 🦊❤️

serene happiness or just
simple amusement 🦊❤️

you still stand tall despite the
empty talking heads  🦊❤️
