When I am full of anger
I think in anger's terms
Part of my existing life
Is full of anger's germs
...

Fractured bright light in inverted cones
Turqoise blue hues in iceberg's bones
White covered peaks and tundra's snow
Where polar bears, wolverines and snowgeese go
...

In billows of pillows of ethereal mist
In shrouds of clouds it turns and twists
Flowing and settling on life when it's new
It alerts many and attracts just a few
...

I took a walk to the parlor
And ordered an ice cream cone
Smiled at the man at the counter
He knew he wasn't alone
...

Our daughter was lovely and twenty one
White things a portent for hope
But-She took the dark side, not the light side
And left on the end of a rope
...

When you think in anger
You think in anger's terms
When you walk in anger
You carry anger's germs
...

Salt air licks my beard
As we ride adventure's current
Cheered on by gulls
We begin that ancient game
...

He screamed at me and screamed at me
When I was just a lad
He threw his considerable anger my way
It left me very sad
...

I sent out a little anger
Then a little hate
What then came flowing back to me
Won't be at heaven's gate
...

When I walked into those caring rooms
I wanted it, and I was welcome
No matter, whatever, however
We will take you in
...

Study your Shakespeare and Calculus
Physics and History too
Learning and thinking in college days
May be quite important to you
...

Like a fickle lover, March weather
Seduces us with it's soft days
Of warmth. Our lives are given
New meaning and wonder by it's
...

The ocean waves hello and
Beckons with mists of wonder
It churns and turns and curls
Roaring out it's thunder
...

He struts and swaggers as he walks along
Full of himself to the brim
If you ask about the state of the world
He say it's all about him
...

I recently drove past the house
Where I grew up. Different in color,
But basically the same.
...

Chocolate- I am smitten
You are there for me
When no one cares
Or no one dares
...

On the light path of life's winds
Moving tenderly without restraint
Days of glory and expansion
Doing things right, inside and out
...

The ocean waves hello and
Beckons us to mists of wonder
It churns and turns and curls
Roaring out it's thunder
...

The forest is quiet and birds don't sing
It's silence the hunters bring
The long tall grass and verdant trees
Lay silent until the predators leave
...

You might try to stand outside of yourself
And look at what is in your heart
If you are able to be honest about what you see
You could find what tears you apart
...
