Like the waterfalls of Guiana
and the sweeping arc
of the great Mississippi,
the rhythm beats against
our blue lined skin,

reminding us of a source
broader than the far horizon,
yet alive in our bloodstream
like a pulse at the heart of the world.

  4. Don, your poetry helps me get through the night. I want you to know that I am in the midst of transformative work and your exposed soul shines a bright light upon my path.

  5. On Eagle Wings

    On eagle wings angels fly,
    Who walk upon waters and soar crystal skies.
    There it is, once again we gather to meet,
    Amidst the roaring thunder of a warrior’s feat.

    Souls of children from the east will rise,
    A chorus of angels, to a savior’s cry;
    “Awake Nations, Awake! Arise!”
    Dawn is come, a new Sunrise…..

    Uranda,
