I love zucchini

Taste eluding my senses

Irresistible.

Dew shimmers softly

Reflecting the rising sun

Soft grass beneath sky.

I think things are best

When a child can understand

What is being said.

I said “not now please”

And we haven’t spoken since.

I said not “goodbye.”

Sometimes “no” means “wait”

“Not right now, just be patient.”

But we hear “never.”

I need to say no.

I have to be strong enough,

For the both of us.

Lightly falling rain

Shadows melting shapely dreams

Our secret, clouds hold.

His tender mercies

Giv’n to all those who have faith

Ev’n unto freedom.

The voice you sleep to

May one day be the same voice

That moves the heavens.

One day I just knew,

To stop looking to you to

Give what you ne’er had.
