An anxious heart today have I,
agonizing the word 'goodbye'
when weak and tired my spirit is,

leaning on them; trusted, steady.

1/11
An empty heart I have tonight
I am confused, who knows what's right?
My head is spinning, my cheeks are wet
this ache my soul seeks to forget
My friend, his heart, is fixed this eve
a stent to heal he did receive
and all my joy I send his way
and thank the stars he's here today.
2/14
A patient heart today have I
day count 13 and 12 of night
since last we spoke in friendship sure
Autumn leaves this steady tour
This night a yearning spoils my heart
seeking signals and times to mark
I long your sapphire eyes to see
and drift within tranquility
The Spring heralds delights galore
longer days and nights ashore
the time apart; eternity
when will you spend some time with me?
Alas a patient heart is mine
this summer comes and in time
a golden presence; I shall feast
forgetting all I cared the least

A quiet heart today have I
there are no tears, my eyes are dry
I claim the path revealed my own
and humbly place the cornerstone
10/4/2016
A heart replete today have I
Health and humor on the rise
With angel’s wings today revealed
true presence; strength and courage yield
