  • I Saw A Red Door






    And I want to paint it black.



    John and Sarah's beautiful house door. 



    Leaving the door behind we wandered the wood, coming upon a bog and the Sun lit it with the late autumn light; reflected we were there.







  • I Found Your Cards Today



    They were Thanksgiving and Christmas.
    They were last years and we were
    young in our relationship,
    and in our love.


    Thanksgiving and you wrote
    "I feel like a child,"
    and I remember blushing
    and wondering.



    Wondering where love might
    lead us, wondering why
    I was anxious to share the leftover
    happiness of Thanksgiving
    with only you.


    And then



    A Christmas star slipped
    from the ceiling







    of the sky.


    Your heart is a star catcher




    and I
    will fill it up


    with the dancing light in my eye. 



    You thanked me for
    sharing and celebrating
    a new life with you, making
    it special and complete.


    They were Thanksgiving and Christmas.
    This is our present season's love, our love.
    Our love grows as we grow to love
    ourselves, always expanding and eternal.


    We are creating a new life and this is
    continually creating love.


    Can anyone deny the truth in this?

  • This Morning I Missed The Train


    The AM dawned and you slept in
    I slithered out,
    slid from under,
    covers left over your skin.


    Your face peaked out of
    blonde comforter curls
    I peaked at the sky,
    boiled water for tea,
    and listened for your stirring.


    You came to wish me a good day
    a warm hug,
    a kiss good bye,
    rain lightly kissed my cheek,
    as I strode walked away.


    The train yelled rolling screetches
    I wached there,
    no hastened step
    I missed the train and continuing on.


    I strolled on coffee wafting grind
    and sat steeping,
    wondering drinking,
    how could I miss you so soon.

  • My Girl Asked "Who Loves You, Baby?"


    I Answered with a Card


    T Carol


    Who loves me?
    You do.
    Who nutures my soul?
    You do.
    Who can love this much?
    You do, I can,
    we are and will be
    forever
    In blessed love.
    I love you too.

    - Rick

  • The Life Sucked Out of Me



    Someone attached a long cable to me,
    stretching into the distance,
    beyond where I can see.



    Energy does not pull,
    it shorts out all the time,
    I can't move forward.


    Infinite ground,
    pure potential,
    electro motive,
    force

  • Conversations With God


    The heading here is intentional.  Why our conversations with Him always in bold large font capitalized headings?  Because we cannot speak with God.  Bullshit!  And this book tells us why.
    Do not expect to be coddled in this novel; God just doesn't care, His purpose is beyond the daily stuff.  He is always there though talking to us through our higher experiences ...
    I am only on page 20, but I'm hooked.
