Home
Is where you
Make it

Under roof
Or
Open air

Amid mementoes
And
Others

About whom
You
Truly care

Sinking further
Down, down

Feet can’t touch the
Ground, ground

Afraid that I might
Drown, drown

Darkness invades
Around, around

Heart in chest
Pounds, pounds

Thoughts of panic
Bound, bound

Sinking further
Down, down

Life lost but heaven
Found, found

Ghost Riders

Never would
The
Bike’s owner
Have
Guessed

When
He propped
His trusty two-wheeler
Against the
Wall

That
Come nightfall

In
The glow of the
Full moon

His ride would
Mysteriously
Vanish

A faint trail
Of
Stardust

All
That remained

Home from college
Just in time
For
Her grandmother’s
75th birthday

Debra’s heart
Skipped a beat
As she cupped her hands
Over Nanna’s eyes
And
Whispered, “Surprise!”

Feeling
For the first time
In two years

The Pandemic had
Finally
Loosened its grip
On their lives

Thoroughly soaked
But ecstatic
To finally capture
The quintessential
Splash image

You want me
To
Do what?

Stand up here on stage
In front of
All these people

And
Recite poetry….

But
I haven’t even learned how
To read yet!

The
Early morning
Silence
Was
Heavenly

But
Short-lived

As fishermen
Clambered down the dock
To
The waiting boats

Rods in hand
And
Bait filled buckets clanging

Eager
To crank the engines
And
Cruise the bay

If only the way
Was
Clearly marked

We’d
Never descend into
The dark

Yet through
Traversing
Uncharted ground

Are
We truly
To be found

Tried
And true
Vagabond

Traveled
Here and then
Yon

Acquaintances made
Far and
Wide

Deep loneliness
Eager to
Hide

Many a year
Had
Passed

Since
Visiting home
Last

As road
Curved up
Ahead

Waning
Fear and
Dread

Arising
In
Mind’s eye

Crackling fire
And warm
Apple pie

Upon the threshold
Tears
Wept

As
Long ago promise
Finally kept
