Here are a couple of Poems from this book
LAY ME DOWN
That which wakes me from slumber
And compels me to act
She is the fire at my core
The glimmer of light
Which sparks my imagination
She is the desire in me
The source of a drive
To succeed at all that I do
She is hope made tangible for me
The one who renews my faith in love
Helps me see the balance in my fragile world
She is the passion in my life
An endless wellspring of inspiration
A source of comfort and understanding
Counter-point to these incessant words I write
For all that she is within me
She is uncompromisingly herself
And the only woman I will ever love
My last meal a forgotten feast
Either by lake or by stream
Leave me there free to dream
By the water lay me down
Under moonlit, star filled skies
Your face last before my eyes
With a gentle breeze
To set my restless mind at ease
In this scene lay me down
When this days task
Is finished at long last
Having found treasure on a distant shore
All we wanted, and much, much more
With a rich heart lay me down
When this course is finely run
And our work finely done
I will cherish the song we sing
And when I feel not a thing
Forever lay me down
