If it's too cold then whisper

Gray clouds
Fringed magenta
Azure fissures
Pastel light

LIFE BLOOD

Ebb and flow
starts and stops
travellers pulse through
the veins of the city
"Carpe diem!" comes the silent cry
from the chorus on the bus
Delivers and taketh away

FAMILY CONVERSATION

Living in a fish bowl under a microscope
Neighbors correct your style to fit their shoes
Walk upon the water of subsistence
two miles, one for me, one for you

Family defined in frames of time
Minds determined to survive
together in the cultivated soil
generations toiled beside

Justice prays the beggar soul
Love cries the louder lion

TODAY!!

Guess what I did:"TODAY"!:

I woke up and was blessed

Seen a lot of things, people on my way

Today:"God" told me, "I passed the test!"

I had so much fun, I paid attention:

people talked, laughed, worried, and played

"But", sometimes people fail to, Really,

really give recognition:

I heard, "I'm proud 2-B-here "TODAY"!

The Past: Learn and always give thanks!

The Present: Your special gift for "TODAY"!

The Future: Your opportunity to make a better "TODAY"!

Its never too late to find something just in you,

given just to you,

special only in you!

So how much did you learn.

Always acknowledge "Him" in your own way,

"He" will guide your path,

What did you see?, learn?, say?:

How did you pray:

Just for "TODAY"!

a poem by KAE

INNOCENCE

So wise in the ways of the world

thrown to lions in the cage

the man in the mirror

other than thou

Replenish my soul in your eyes

dark clouds drifting before

the fierce fire of morning

Day of triple nines

September change

Venus stands her distance

from the crescent moon

Peace in the Valley

Let me love you

I watch the butterfly
admire its beauty
want to hold it in my hand
but then it would no longer be free

I know you care

An enigma
so strong and unbending
so fragile and needy
I can touch your wings
the flutter of your heart
is the beat of my own

Lay together

The power flows through us
each to the other
not ours alone
