I Rise

I rise

to a golden light.

Sunlight.

To peace,

in this space,

in this place.

I rise,
to a new day.

Don't Go (c)

Don't go,

Please stay.

Think of what

You could write today.

Or think.

Or do.

Perhaps you could also

help someone too.

Fight, not flight,

that is the thing.

We gain something strong,

an everlasting song,

when we stay grounded.

Grounded in the moment.

Grounded in our beliefs.

Strong.  

Like Boston.

Strong. 

Strong like the

100 year old oak

outside my window.
