FORGET ME NOT

That deep moment
When the grass is calm
The gale is spent
Nature is bent
On being your heart’s balm

A busy butterfly
Like a restless thought
Flutters by
Waving hi and goodbye
Forget me not

Forget me not.

Poems from the inner river

LAW OF THE L

Take your L
Take it well
No one can tell
Why you fell
Did your pride swell?
It rings a bell
It broke your shell
Take it well
I wish you well
Time will tell
And heal you well
Heaven and Hell
Understanding your L
Will break the spell
And make you well.
