I am honored to accept this Perfect Poet Award.
All too soon
a year flew by
like the seagulls
as I held you in awe
at the ocean’s edge
wind blowing
through your light blond hair
Then, twenty more
as you held
the girl you chose
with darkness in your hair
promising everything
on a chilly, fall evening
while I, like the gulls
hovered about in the air
watching the passage of time
Tomorrow you fly
far away to the Air
losing your crop
to their demands
Proudly, my heart
takes wing beside you
beautiful young man
holding you always near
my precious only son
Heartspell
