Add Light
Gray clouds move in.
The lake darkens.
I am distressed that
the sun is hidden.
Relief comes when it appears
enough to add light to the dark.

My work also has appeared in publications such as Thorny Locust Magazine, core. zine,The Enigmatist, Veterans' Voices and Kansas Time + Place An Anthology of Heartland Poetry.

Overwhelmed By It All
Overwhelmed By It All
Sometimes, I feel
overwhelmed by it all.
Darkness closing in.
Resistance from
every direction.
But, I keep
paddling along
until the light
comes into sight.

Waiting for the Wind
Waiting for the Wind
I'm waiting for
the wind to change.
Go from cold to warm,
strong to gentle.
Hold things up instead
of bring them down.
Give me some assistance
instead of put up resistance
as I move through the day.
