Poetry is so much
more
than many people think it is.
It is
the place
where the battleground of light and dark
makes its  finest stand..

or most pathetic fall.

Its Simple …
There are no Heroes…..
Without Enemies.

Every life
is a bit literature
though the person
is not a writer

Today I got a hug, out of the blue                                                             ­     
                                                           ­                                                               
and it even came with an "I love you''                                                            ­    
                                                            ­                                                        
Such a simple kind gesture                                                          ­                                                  
              ­                                                                 ­                               
  It brought me such pleasure                                                         ­                     
                                                                ­                                                          
It picked me up when I felt down                                                             ­                       
                                         ­                                                                 ­      
  turned my day totally around                                                           ­                 
                                                                ­                                                  
  Just when I thought no one cared                                                            ­            
                                                                ­                                        
someone loved me, someone shared

Rain today and cold
My mind is on the sea
San Francisco Zen
In Dublin meant to be

Thankful for my sons
Thankful. Xie xie ni.
Chicken and broccoli for lunch
And a little milk tea

                         Si

The pool's swirling
and the fish,
swimming in the dappled light,
have found me.
