My voice stands for all the children lost to time.

Once the tyrant came swooping down.
My voice stands for young and old,
Torn apart by Caesar.
For they were taken far too soon,
And we will ever miss them.

Wake up and watch the sun rise above.
Soul, open your eyes and surf in the wind.
Don't make a refuge from disillusionment,
For nothing do not unwind in a deluge.
Believe in those dreams whose plans you did set.
Don't give up on your perfect world.
Never give up on going your way.
Believe that on every corner you will find your breath.
Close your eyes and surrender your soul to the voice,
And dream that nobody can take from you what you decide.

Give & Take
I want the purple heart I wear to go away, held my head high, a silent concert of valor, while wounded by the draw, of blood that circulated, thru shared organs, willed by that half brain. I want a harmony band, gentle soothing abundant gestures of drifting clouds

My voice stands for the work of advocates,
The sweat of laborers.
The tears of lonely children.

The needs of our planet-home,
For peace among the cultures of the globe.

My Voice Is
My voice shudders to say
The things that were in play
In the mind of my student
Who thought it was prudent
To take his life away
That left me in dismay
My voice is his voice
His voice prays for justice
For a world without guns
For a peace second to none

My Voice Is
My voice is like a daffodil
Arriving to defy the bleak and stoic sky
To challenge the very soil that gave it life, that still holds its roots
Slowly, it begins to unfurl each petal
Until - all at once - its inner self is on display
In all its brazen beauty
You do not have to admire it
But you cannot ignore it.
It boldly raises its head to ask with the innocence of new hope:
What if
