The older I get, the more clearly I see

the artifice of so many human endeavors.

One Small Candle

When we decide to love,
To fall in love,
We luxuriate in our love,
Our precise, exquisite love,
Denied to so many.

We light one small candle
In a dark room,
Believing the whole wide world
Is ablaze.

Living In A Tree

I f the world were filled with people like me,
I’d likely be living up in a tree.

So many writers with nothing to say,
