Your beliefs, my myth
Who we pray to is a choice
Outward or inward
The book may be very old
But the prayer is brand new

There is no peace without stories
Solitude fiction
We are ancestor stories
Light brought to life, words
Pages turned in an unbound
Rhythm that rhymes across time

With You
Some air, we just breathe
Other, is for riding dreams
Down stone stairs, to seas
Rising to imaginings
Carrying us, to this life

Hello Vespa,
I recognize you
The roads you have taken me
Shaken cobbled streets
Rutted side roads through farmer's
Dreams and little communities

To paint with sunshine
The world as your stretched canvas
Dappled with moon flecks
As you wrap up this today
Whispering tomorrow's wish

Athens
Love stories are made
Of madness and bright colours
Rubber on cobbles
Paint spread like lipstick on walls
Too drunk with passion to care

Peace
A simple moment
A quiet breath taken in
A look to the sky
A dove softly lands for you
Peace is always an option.

Little Orange Cat in Crete
After the petting
I rest under a palm tree
I saw you, you me
Our connection has been quick
A little love, not love sick

Winter sheep fence
View changes for winter
The shepherds put up the fence
Sheep come from above
After a busy season
Grazing in the hills, now fat

You woke me last night
Breaking open my quiet
Yet I am not angry
You reward with the moon full
And this lone tree in bright glow

The Price of Peace
The price of peace is your heart on display
You are armed with a desire to love
The only weapon you carry is hope
Courage is open arms to hostile minds
We are both the enemy and the friend
Our choice is what we portend

To save us from destruction
Perhaps we need more
Than something that makes money
Perhaps care and empathy

Beautiful but do not eat
Unless you want to see God

Piles of your old clothes
You try them, toss into piles
To keep, give away
There is a metaphor here
About our life in general

The Poet's Tomb
His muse sits alone
Agony before his tomb
Here lies her poet
There is never time to waste
Write your heart while the blood flows
