(Featured Poems, Once, Poetry)
I won’t falter if you laugh at me
although the clouds may cry.
And the trees in solemn silence
stare blankly at the sky
and the grass, beneath summer’s heat,
turn and gossip silently.
And a hundred other things all because
you laughed at me.
Still, I won’t falter if you laugh at me
although the wind may bellow.
And each leaf cry out
to his neighbor
and the birds, in summer madness,
start chirping wildly.
And a thousand other things all because
you laughed at me.
No I won’t falter if you laugh at me.

(Once, Poetry)
One day I thought the moon had stopped reflecting;
right now I know how that was wrong.
One day I thought my heart had stopped its shining—
I didn’t know that love could last so long.
But now I know the moon is always near—
even while unseen it seems so close;
now I know my heart can swallow fear.
Love always comes when you need it most.
Tonight I think the moon will soon be coming—
even though it’s gone I feel it smile;
tonight I know my heart can’t stop its loving.
I pray that will be reflected in a while.
