We’re All In This Together

We’re All In This Together From out left field, the virus it struck Not a normal flu season, it reeks of bad luck It’s not a question of who, what, or whether The simple fact is we’re all in this together All sports put on hold, even the ones we hold dear There will be

For My Valentine

For My Valentine Valentine’s Day arrived right on cue Each passing year our love sparks anew Reading our tea leaves always comes natural Our minds act as one, avoiding any spectacle Togetherness provides us our special love potion While distance between us creates a different emotion Inhaling each other’s love with a passion that will

A Navigator’s Ode

A Navigator’s Ode Clear skies were welcomed by ancient mariners Dodging rocks in and around the sea foam corridors The sextant being the instrument of the day Provided challenges to sailors finding their way Visions of the Pearly Gates provided some fright Although a blood orange sky was a delightful sight Vehicles advanced and instruments
