All it takes is one
Heart beat
One thought
One movement
To make the world
A better place

Lake Michigan’s Lullaby
The lulling of a lapping fresh
Water ocean
On the shores of the Indiana National Lakeshore
Bring the eyes easier
And to the full
Thought
Of the Lullaby
Sung by the lake
And it’s deep blue rhythm
In the vast nature
The swell of the water
Brings us back to the life
Before life
In all of it’s glory
It brings us more life
Through the sway of
The release
On the heels of Chicago
And the Wabash
And over the water
From the State of Michigan
Whisper Between Worlds
Between the light of day
And the next even
There is the whisper
Between
worlds
Where we live all
The day
Long
What the River Knows
Depths below
Bellow with the sway
Of the riverside
What the river knows
It will never concede
To know or not
So take what the waters shed
The waters of life
Substance
Take it one moment at a time
With the gentle whispers of the
The river
Where Angels Tread
Upon a light foot
Of feather wind
Born on the evening
And raised in the morning sun
The angles tread
In the words with us
In our spirits
Unseen
Protecting the feeble and
Weary
And powering the peaceful
So take heed today
That we go
Where the angels tread
When the Wind Remembers Your Name
All else has failed
The world is simply
Upside down
Good is bad
Bad is good
All is against all
In a darkness no one
Understood
Would take us back
To a place of proclaimed hate
For those against us
And as the darkness falls all around
In the quiet
In the depths of a plane night
The wind will remember your name
Unfinished Prayers
From the beginning
There is hope
Hope to help
Hope to see the other side
Of a world
Spinning in darkness
As the darkness spreads
The words
Fall off the tree
Dead
To those unfinished prayers
For those who need the words
They echo the walls of life
All around
Mirrored in the Water
Mirrored in the waters
Of a blithe Lake Michigan
The city reflects
Cool and collected
Over the volumous water
Blue and lurking
Over the shores of the lake
Overseeing lakeshore
In the lights of the city
Speckled in orange hue
We see ourselves living a life
Me
And
You
Ice on the Water, Fire in the Streets
In the depths of a cold winter
Off the shores of Lake Michigan
The piers of Chicago
Extend
Into the webs of ice
Blistering through the
Cracking of time
On the streets full of vibrant
Life with fires in the souls
Of everyone who knows
The days and nights
Of Chicago life
Chicago Fog
A dense word of sorts
From the tops of the lights
On the buildings shoes
Only seen in the heavy
Dew
That drapes the water
Lapping the shores
Of Lake Michigan
And down the Wabash
And around to Lake Shore
The call of the Ferris Wheel
And the laughter of the people
Walking side by side
Riding in cars as they
Go by
The fog of Chicago makes a big
City small
With only what you can see
And that is all
