Don’t be afraid
To ask outright
what you need,
It is not a burden,
But to hold it in,
And go without,
Because you feared
Judgement,
When you were most in need.
All you can do is ask,
There is no shame
In asking
For
Help.
Quote, Do not be daunted

Ferry Beach Lullaby
Cresting waves
Crash steps away
And lull to sleep
As through my window
They shush and whisper
“Rest and make not a peep*
Bred by Love
Come so far,
So far to go,
Then legs kicked out,
Again,
From below,
And anger resurfaces,
Pain still fresh,
From a wound that
Will never heal,
And wound on wound
The gaping hurt feels endless,
What can be done
To stop the hate;
The hate that breeds such hate?
My love might seem shallow,
But a little goes a long way,
It’s potent and contagious,
And pain will not make
My love be curdled
By a bitter hate,
Pain is the trauma
But not the ailment,
Pain reminds one can feel,
That this hate is unnecessary
And is missing what I have,
This love breeds love,
Bred by love,
And swallows hate,
Time and time again.

The glorious tide
Beautiful
And just the same
Powerful
As it erases crystalline coasts
A disappearing act of shore
Enjoy it while it’s here
Exxon and friends assure
It will be

Baritone Whistler
Calls to me
Tells me of stories
Of years and voyagers
And visitors before
Seduced by this singer
In and of and from,
