"Before"

Every 

so often,

far into the Night,

California Beckons.

Other Nights it's Hawaii, Singapore or Paris,

et cetera.

The open Road, like a Temptress sighs,

Luring me on with Promises

of Adventure and Intrigue.

Inevitably,  you Turn to me,

Eyes Gently locked in Sleep.

Gradually,

the haunting Invitations

Fade into the Darkness.

And I am left to Ponder my Life as it is,

as it was Before.

Rolling over, Sleep comes Easily.

I am Content 

where

you are.

"Social Commentary"

The names

 don't fool me one bit.

They're not deluxe hotels,

or summer cottages along the ocean.

They're prisons for the elderly,

neglected, and unwanted.

They're kindergartens for broken olde children,

with psychologically programmed games

to keep the children entertained.

Don't try to fool me.

You can cast me aside if I'm in the way, 

but I'm much too old to sit and play. 

My mind is sharp,

my senses keen.

I am no child, I am a man!

Don't make me end 

it all

where it began.

"A Bridge"

Standing 

close to the River's edge,

I study the traffic overhead,

passing back and forth with so much ease,

and wonder.

Could Time devise for me a Structure,

a Bridge so Strong and True,

as to guarantee my Finding

the Way from

where I am

to

You.

"First Peace"

The

 First Peace~

which is the most important

is that which Dwells within the Souls

of people

when they realize their 

Relationship~

their Oneness~ with the Universe

and all its Powers~

When they realize that at the Center of the Universe

dwells the Great Spirit~
and this Center is really everywhere~

it is Within

each

of

Us.

"Thanksgiving"

A

 Life that is not shared

 becomes tragically diminished.

To realize the immense value of a Life that is 

fully shared, is to recognise the 

True significance 

of the 

Journey.

 ~Perhaps, this is the only 

real and lasting definition of Success.

And I quote:

"There is a Light in this World,

a Healing Spirit more powerful 

than any darkness we may encounter.

We sometimes lose sight of this Force when there is suffering,

too much pain.

Then suddenly this Spirit will emerge,

through the lives of ordinary people, 

who hear a call 

and answer

in 

extraordinary ways."

For the many who have answered the call

in an extraordinary way~

I thank you. 

~May God bless each and everyone of you~

in an

extraordinary

way!

Happy Thanksgiving!
