A poet and a government worker. Living with family in the Fingerlakes region of upstate NY.
Restless are the ocean waves
that battle for the land.
Their struggles are so timeless
against the grains of sand.
...
When all a summer's meadow sleeps,
their howls will fill the air
and high upon a rocky bluff,
the wolves will guard their lair.
...
Submerged within this peaceful sea
where quiet death has crept.
The surface shimmered above me
from tears as Angels wept.
...
I heard the howling of the wind
across the drifted snow.
It's icy chill and loneliness
had nowhere else to go.
...
Hungry, are the wolves that stalk
a winter's frozen lake.
Howling such unearthly sounds,
and keeping us awake.
