A Dedication in a Rather Poor Rumi Style
Last night I spoke
But had to ask my heart
Not to reply for a while.
Dear broken heart
Don't speak to me about loss
And not about your pain
Do you . . .

The Heavens have gone gone dark as the thunder clouds pack up above our heads. Is that why I wrote this poem? Let me think about that.
Oh God to feel
Alive once more
Just to love and laugh . . .

Among the things that I do is play the clarinet. Not that you would pay to hear me. No, that's not how it is. I play for myself. The sound of my instrument is very important to me and I'd like to tell . . .

Once long before I walked
I was named and stamped
That's done. Whose next?
My name's served me well
Then and now
For how d'you do's and sign here's.
But there came a time . . .

I do most of my writing at a coffee house known as Casablanca. Its dark wood paneling gives the place a warm stimulating atmosphere. The many coffee drinkers that come and go immediately feel at ease. . . .

I'm like a coin. There's something on my one side. Something else on the other side. And something more else on the third side. A three sided coin? Yes, that me. A three sided coin. Very rare. A collectors . . .

Nicholas and I parked our Harleys outside that great majestic Manhattan hotel in downtown New York. It was well known for its grandeur and opulence. Merely to walk through the large gold and glass doors . . .

When we meet
What will we do?
Will we stand
Half fearful?
Will pre-conceptions
Tumble into place?
Will we on impulse
Reach out and embrace?
No no, none of that
Not like that for us
We'll look into . . .

I walk along my chosen path
Alive and totally aware
I hear a twig as it breaks
Yet they call me a dreamer,
I love the stones in my path
The round ones I kick aside
The flat ones I skip on water
But there . . .

DO YOU SEE THE WAY?
I read so much about losses And reams about doubts in faith. I look around and see eyes dimmed And cheeks streamed by tears of dismay. Are we on the same road, you and me?

These are the words of a remarkable song that my father played over and over in our house. It was always uplifting. Whenever he played it, we would all pause in our activities and listen. Just listen, . . .

As sung by a white bearded pistol packing sage.
Six green bottles, all in a row
Set up on a wall behind my back
Hand me my pistol and my mirror
Set the barrel on my shoulder
No time to shake . . .

The conference hall soon filled up and there was a buzz of excitement. The two friends had seats in the front row. In front of them was a stage with a podium for a speaker.

If you say love
I'll jump through a hoop
If you say love love
I'll loop the loop
If you say love love love
I'll be cock of the hoop
I always thought nothing could be worse
Than writing love . . .

After I read Amy George's three line but powerful poem "Word Baptism", I couldn't rest until I wrote this as a God speed support message. Bon Voyage Amy.
