A collection of selected poems
from 1995 to 2018.
Ignorance is bliss
Let us dance in the night
Beneath a moonless sky
Blind to the world
Near the edge of the pit
Let the music rage
Fill our hearts and souls
As we dance violently
Near the edge of the pit
Echoes call out to us
“Watch your step, watch your step”
Disembodied voices saying nothing worth while
As we dance in time near the edge of the pit
What joy it is to be free
Twirling, twirling in the darkened sky
Free of the cares of the world
Slipping unnoticed into the pit of oblivion
In Due Season: A Collection of Poetry and Prose
