A Blessed Moment
A warm november afternoon,A pair of pigeons on my ledge,Steel gray necks, feathers a lot,Beak in beak, peck by peck,They turn into a frenzied ball,A playful foreplay,A heartfelt sight,A blessed moment!
A Woman’s Smile
A master magician,Skilled by time,She can silence your fears,With one bright smile. A master illusionist,Hardened by time,She lives behind her eyes,Burying tears and smiles. A master survivor,Don’t get on her wrong side,She’ll rubble you into a pile,And walk away with a smile.
