eyes



Tell us a story about your days and nights
Maybe share how you’ve made the journey here
With just a glance, a toss or turn of the head
We’ll discern what messages you wear
Go ahead allow the tale its turn
The sharing of it calls us as if to arms
Be at peace for what you’re telling
Hugs us snugly safe from harm

smiles



There just to the left of emotion
Coming upon the memory of enchantment
The corners of your mouth are beaming
Signifying a bountiful love inside
Unsolicited and welcome
This simple gift restores the battered heart
And nurtures the meaning of all things

faces



Faces boldly fill the street
Becoming the landscape of an urban beat
The city’s gauge of life and love
Revealed as whole and incomplete

Some are masks of cold deceit
Guiding souls to lost retreat
Most are lights of sober strength
Ever cautious to avoid defeat

the city



The City is teeming with eager faces,
good fortune taps my brow and bids me to
capture some of that vibrancy, here...
The eyes speak of lavish and lonely places and
tales yet to be told...
