Dillon and Papa

Me, my niece Linda Gail and my big brother Jim Neighbors about 1950. If I was 2, Linda was 1 and Jim was 18. Now I'm 61, Linda is 60 (wow) and Jim is gone and deeply missed. He seemed 9 feet tall at the time (come to think of it he still does to me).

Ego Eyes




A mirror image piece of mind I seek;
a shade of deepest shadow that I might
portray the picturesque from pots of bleak;
construct the bright of day from dark of night.

In hiding from my self-inflicted pain;
I tuck away the truth; I would protect
the cloth of my umbrella from the rain;
my fragile self from trial by retrospect.

A self-protective sheath, I realize…
a double-cross entrendre, metaphor
would o¬nly serve to catch my ego eyes
and focus on the pain I would ignore.

I seek a way to die yet live in death;
a blade to take my life but not my breath.

Crystal



Refracted by the lens of time,
the memories appear;
that eyes may hold them up to view;
that hearts may hold them dear.

These images of a rainbows lost;
of sunshine through the rain;
the mind will calculate the cost;
the soul will gauge the pain.

The beauty of a broken past
the heart will hold, in truth…
the rest will fade, as distant storms;
as does the flush of youth.
