Grandchildren Make Everything Alright When it's Not
A poem about grandchildren
In tender arms, a love untold,
grandchildren's wonder takes hold,
with eyes aglow, their spirits dance,
a bounce at life's second chance.
*
Their laughter echoes through the years,
erasing shadows, soothing fears.
Each giggle, hug, and gentle touch,
a testament to love's pure clutch.
*
In little souls, the future blooms,
bright stars within life's vast rooms,
grandchildren, treasures of our hearts,
forever bound, never to depart.
*
Grandchildren give us joy
to live longer, forever,
feeling younger and healthier,
happier and brighter.

Where the woods breathe.
The woods don't shout like cities do, they speak in hush and hum, in leaf-tongue whispers overhead, in the beat of beetle drums. Sunlight spills in broken gold, caught on every seam, stitching shadows to the ground like pieces of a dream. The trees stand tall as ancient thought, their roots curled. Their branches writing quiet maps of an older, softer world. A breeze turns pages in the ferns, the moss remembers rain, and somewhere far, a wood thrush calls a silver, bending strain. If you walk slow, the forest knows. It matches breath for breath,lends you its calm, unknots your chest,and steals your hurrys weight. for in the woods,time loosebs up,becomes a drifting thing. Just light and bark and steady heart and everything listening. and when you leave, a part remains, tied to root and hood. a small, green pulse you carry home: the quiet of the woods.

Off the Book
It ended like every other stupid idea. Badly, and alone. I’m researching digital confession ethics, he said. A tech ethicist. He gestured at floating data I couldn’t see then pulled out a physical notebook. Actual paper, fountain pen. He held it up like he was showing me scripture.
