UNSPOKEN WORD
A new book of poetry to be published in April
Dear Friends:
I am happy to announce that my new book of poetry: Unspoken Word: Love, Longing, & Letting Go is now in production and will be available for purchase on 3/21/23. Here is one of the 100 poems in the book:
THIS THIRST
There is an aching deep inside me that cannot be explained.
It wakes me in the middle of the night and write these lines –
a kind of fishing in a great sea I cannot find by day.
This escapade is not the search for something new,
it is not the need to find –
more it is the being moved,
my being pulled by an unseen moon,
how small birds, when days get cold, make their way
across dark skies to the place where they were born,
how a feather falls to earth
and a child, finding it, looks up,
why dogs pace back and forth before a door
as their master turns for home.
Ah, this restlessness, this thirst, this ache,
this silent undertow inside
