spring’s first ambassadors emerge
dressed in deep cerulean blue
a touch of warmth blooms life anew
as winter shrieks its final dirge
dressed in deep cerulean blue
spring’s first ambassadors emerge

i trust in facts, not points of view
your opinions are yours alone
righteous beliefs aren’t set in stone,
though they may mean the world to you
your opinions are yours alone
i trust in facts, not points of view

it takes considerable grace
to love unconditionally
embracing every frailty
offenses overlooked, erased
to love unconditionally
it takes considerable grace

I’m grateful
on these two-dog nights
for a bed
and two dogs
who warm me while the tempest
rages on

there are moments, I must confess
i curse the void inside my brain
in search of witty, rhymed refrains,
inspired streams of consciousness
i curse the void inside my brain
there are moments, I must confess
