Upon these waves true and tried Dance, oh sun, your slivers of gold upon this glassy sea That touch the heart, revive, and enlighten me Cast your colors at eventide Reds and violets across the ocean wide Waste not a moment on waves true and tried To bring me safely to shore And return me…
From rain come flowers
From rain come flowers Oh my love, have I fallen like Rain upon mud-sodden ground That turns your love away From the sun I’ve always found April-soaked puddles Are where May flowers abound See how the one relates to the other Both in spring’s forest Where forgiveness and love Are the sweetest sounds
I will awaken as the spring
I will awaken as the spring Come and live Hoots the owl on the bough Echoing spring’s pulchritudinous vow To drink at the river like the loving deer All the forest begins to cheer Awaken bears from your winter’s rest Provision is here of all the year’s best An abundance to eat Come and be…
My poetry with translations in Greek
Today I’d like to share two of my nature poems with you that have been translated into Greek by my fellow poet and friend on Twitter, Vasiliki Petroudi. I was so touched and extremely grateful that she did that! She even made little videos that included nature music with each poem. Unfortunately, I can’t share…
The bridge from me to you

The wishing well
The Wishing Well Oh wish us well, Wishing Well When life is bad or life is swell Was my briefest message to tell As I sat there by the well On its old stone wall in the cool of the day To lament the state of my garden by the way For though I missed…
Love flows eternal
Love flows eternal There at the end of our garden in view Flows a river of love with my memories of you Dip your feet in the shallow and see There was nothing shallow between you and me Cool is the water that flows ankle deep Passion is the heart that makes the birds cheep…
Every starlit sky reminds me of you
Every starlit sky reminds me of you There were times When we just didn’t want to say anything When all we could do All we wanted to do Was rest gently in each other’s arms Your head resting on my chest My fingers stroking your hair Two deeply caring friends And we lay out in…
Between twilight and dreams
Between twilight and dreams I found you in the clouds Somewhere between twilight and dreams A gentle touch of sunlight alighted on your cheeks You were dreaming of me, too Light filled every place our thoughts went Love filled our hearts No other reason was found for us to be there But the love of…
The love-sent message of the stars
The love-sent message of the stars I want to imagine the two of us You and me Gazing upon the night sky to see Its vast array of lights Welcoming us to come and believe The stars do more than just twinkle, you know They whisper love Again and again Three messages they speak Love-sent…
