-
When a friend kneels, beseeching compassion
-
There is nothing in this side of heaven
like the food of Ukraine where I now live.
-
On Sunday came my trial with no time for defence;
-
My body has grown weaker many years,
though I continued Pierre's work and mine.
-
My muse is where I'd like to be,
stretched out beside a coral sea
-
A quiet evening our desire,
we piled some wood, we lit the fire;
-
chestnut leaves
brown in summer sun
-
-
O gentle Maiden, move among these shades
with hesitancy, press toward your quest,
-
Let's speak of tragedy, and make it plain -
it's drama, strength and weakness opened wide.
-
Thank you Hugh and dear Maureen,
for a place to speak my mind;
-
The waters flow, and softly flow away,
clouds and rain, wells and fountains,
-
Let's play a game.
A game! that's fun!

I used to listen without giving advice,
but then people asked what they should do,
-
I have a dozen buttons people press
that motivate me, first I'm up then down -
-
You ask me to come out of my shell,
when you know why I went in it.
-
Wisps of mist enwreathe the pine and fir
before the sun bursts over mountain side;

-
18. My true love hath my heart, and I have his
-
If Mother Nature had a son,
and gave him pens to play,
-
I stalk along the waterways with eyes alert for prey,
or pause, a stilted statue in the shallows by the edge.
-
Those meddlers who live far away
know nothing of the matter;
-
Say a blessing for me, for I have gone away
-
The legendary singer of the night
whose songs consoled the lover in his woes,
-
Give me a skin like a pangolin,
and the strength of a grizzly bear
-
In this world sane people can be crazy
-
I was a perfect straight and lovely house,
until the mines extended right below
-
-
he's standing, swaying on a dried out rush.
In open ground beside the beaver's brook
-
The silence left by a quiet boy
-
18. The fox has slipped away in the dense wood
-
-
What is love, what is it not?
The question drove me out of my mind,
-
How long that I have sat in meditation,
hoping for a cease of cogitation!
