Marriage (for Joe and Emily)
Marriage
Lifts the spirit
A subtle work of art
That incarnates the human heart’s
Desire
Comfort
One another
In sadness and trials
Be together in dreaming all
Your dreams

Ghost Lights
Lights like ghosts dancing
Along the span of the bridge

Warm Day
Thick blanket of fog
Beneath the bridge disappears
As the warm day breaks

Fog on the Golden Gate
Fog so thick you can't
See the bridge - Just hear fog horns
Signaling danger

Bridge Span
Can’t see the bridge span
In the heavy morning fog

Then have one without passion,

Death Cannot Take (For Brian Smith)
Death parts us, and as we deal with loss
We try to scrape together the bits and pieces
That bound us together in life’s jetsam and floss
Things that touched us, the additions, the increases
The laughter, the wisdom, the passion, the love
That made even the darkest days brighter
That clarified and increased the quality of
Life and life’s mysteries and we try to anchor
With firm memory what death tries to end
To make sense of the senseless, to order this chaos,
To preserve what we gained, to keep, to append
To push back against the overwhelming sense of loss
Death only hurts where love lives
Death cannot take what love’s memory gives
