If Tomorrow

the eve before the new year

tonight

must be this year's ending

the margin between today and tomorrow

on the verge

waiting

for this to end

and

that to begin

Concerto in E Flat Major

Trumpets

angels speak
and my heart opens
sad grandeur
grand beauty

Trumpets

Evening

cold
rain
rain

rain

it's winter

At the Movies

we sit in darkness
hoping that
images

and story

will transport us

sometimes the magic works




sometime it doesn't

Happiness

is not absence of

pain
or sorrow

is not prescence of


things
or people

it is the slight tilting of
enough
