Star Gazing Dreams
Thank you for the moments, the laughter you show me.
I'm happy to know you today.
I appreciate the friendship, it really is so pleasant.
You share with me in every way.
In such a short time, you have been so very kind,
I'm anxious to see your smile.
Sometimes I feel you near, your voice I love to hear,
Please stay with me awhile.
Some don't believe at first, in time it will only hurt,
if you rush the way you feel.
I must say, I disagree, my heart now feels so free,
these feelings I can not conceal.
I feel as if you know me, this realness that you show me,
so special how this all seems.
I thank you for your ways, I look forward to the days,
together with "Star Gazing Dreams"

Dream Puzzles
Dreams of the mind of play and pain,
subconciousness and destinies are not the same.
Sheltered in a capsule so far it seems,
so real it feels while we have these dreams.
Spiders and snakes as a child its scary,
animals so huge large teeth and hairy.
Childs nightmares of lighten and storms,
there dreams so real multicolor is born.
The teens are so vibrant and very alive,
they reach to the heavens touching the sky.
Faultered by classmates at times is a trip,
multiple confussion their dreams do slip.
Alone in a mass conjested twisted place,
in your twenties a dream wellcomes a face.
You believe it is true a reward comes to you,
past nightmares go away happyness is due.
Ten years go by with your family at hand,
dreams of your worries buried in the sand.
As time slipes away at fourty or so,
responsibilities are habit less dreams you hold.
It is Strange how life reawakens your past,
with midlife crises and menopause you crash.
You wellcome a dream to feel young again,
thank god for these pictures im smiling amen.
Old age is now here you remember the years,
Of the loves and romance you wellcome a tear.
With decades of dreams and some so Fuzzled,
maybe at last we understand these Dream Puzzles.

Wired Connections
A box and it's chips with multiple connections,
a monitor that shows us friendly reflections.
These contraptions are commonly known as PC's,
with wonderful options and reliable speed.
As we purchase these vast confusing varieties,
we marvel at there abilities in todays society.
They change or lives and at times bring us fame,
in my next stanzas, please allow me to explain.
Budgets and bills on paper are a kick in the ass,
with functional software, that is all in the past.
Corporations and small businesses rely on these,
calculating there production, while nibbling cheese.
Sadly at times there high volume overflows,
wired to the land and software up the nose.
As there need of updated devices in time comply,
the budget they have set causes them to fry.
At home we are amazed of the time that we stay,
forgetting responsibilities, on or Pc's just to play.
War games and battles are games that kids love,
mind games and chess are the other fun ones.
Joysticks and mouses have made our tasks simple,
swift movements and a click, our fingers feel nimble.
Some people do fear of what they can not deny,
of the wonders of these Pc's while it passes them by.
Communication breakdown is now all in the past,
conferences and chat lines are here at last.
The wonders of text on the screen seems so real,
friendship and hardship at times can actually heal.
Now we plug in our devices with motion and sound,
this stranger is now next to us, the ones that we found.
Businesses and friendships we are a part of everyday,
so please leave on your Pc's, we do need you today.
Fear of the tomorrow of what today has shown,
of such vast technology and visions unknown.
Time will only tell us of what must be accepted,
for now we must aknowledge this and be preceptive.
Computers and people are of matching commonitys,
we must eccept these creatures with often reliability.
So I say unto thee, eccept these common demensions,
and enjoy the wonderful thrills of these Wired Connections.

Michigans' Quilted Nature
Such splendid detail that this media does provide,
With remembrance of walks along the michigan great lakes,
Let us not forget the waters of the Great Niagara Falls,
As my pen sweeps along this page I see these forests of timbers and greens,
Manistee National Forests with her splenditure of gods great woodlines,
So I sit and I imagine there is so much more that these tools can explore,

Wings of Love
These words I share are love, of a woman so far away.
The soul withen her heart, the tenderness of her ways.
I fly with wings of eagles towards the hunger that I prey.
I feel my tears of inner pain
Now I bow my head so weighted of tears, my eyes are glazing without you near.

The swift moving actions of the turbulent rushing torrent
The woods with its colors and stretching of it's limbs
The crashing of natures beast, she unleashes her thunders storm
The breeze off the sea's has its wonders of which we smell
The height of Mount Everest, the glory of the Grand Canyon
The sunsets of the skies cresp the horizons that overlie
