Just think my name
in the barest breeze
and feel my joy
tickling the tops
of trees.

If your second incarnation
is lightning
joining earth and ozone
then let mine be thunder
rolling over Blue Ridge Mountains.
                         From Virtual Love

Appreciate you
your dreams
Permeate
humanity with youthfulness
Inspire reachers
to unveil the richness
of God’s grace
Beauty-filled people
                        From Cool People
