The theme is the common thread of humanity that speaks to the heart through many forms, melodious language, and personal emotions. The author's devotion to craftsmanship lends immediacy and expressiveness to a wide variety of charming and introspective poetic images.

      STARTING OVER

      Like Sisyphus each morn I start

      My task again with a heavy heart.

      Each Genesis day I began anew

      This endless chore I'm assigned to do.

      Tying loose ends as I travel,

      That before another sun, unravel.

      My course is set, this is my fate.

      How slowly the gods retaliate.

      RESURRECTION

      We browse in dusty places,

      Pilfering through each pile,

      Of secondhand and one-time-new,

      Out-of-date and out-of-style.

      The faithful optimists of this age,

      The last of the true believers.

      We recycle dreams, recover hope,

      Defy brand-new deceivers.

      THE ONE-EYED MAN

      He still stands in the agora

      Where the sun warms the salty shore,

      Marble columns line the way

      To the open assembly door.

      Barefoot against the sophistry

      Of Reason's cruel waste.

      The justice of injustice,

      Hemlock's bitter taste.

      DEJA VU

      In the mirror of memory

      The future is cast

      When we relive scenarios

      Performed in the past.

      JOURNEY

      The amber edge of memory

      Sharpens my recollection,

      Calling back a used-to-be

      In silent retrospection.

      It baffles
