A collection of poems on life, love and the journey of moments. The seventy six poems in "Discover The Moment", represent an insightful look into the personal and universal thread of moments that weave the tapestry of our lives. Inspirational and imaginative.
Cowboys

We hitched our horses
to the white picket fence,
tightened our holsters
for a swayed stroll across Elm street
to Patrick's house,
and a peanut butter sandwich.
Woodshed

The woodshed roof
is sagging
from the weight of too much sky.
Perhaps one more full moon
will be its demise,
and the weathered wood
will end in a pile.
Fuel for the Winter stove.

Moments

When the hands are empty
of the past,
and the heart is open
to the present,
then joy flows like a quiet river
and birds sing.

Dream

Take time to dream....
for that which is possible
is not always obvious.

Journey

We smell the smoke of chimneys past
as we walk the path
that winds
along the weathered fence
that leads to the garden gate
and beyond,
to where adventuresome souls
spill into
timless
starlight oceans,
where other universes
begin,
and end,
and begin
again.

Mistaken Identity

I was certain it was you
I saw in the window of the bus,
and I waved enthusiastically
until you looked,
but did not smile.
