“Into every life some rain must fall and December was one of those months when the downpour was beyond reason. Ursula, my wife of 61 years, had the same problem that I had about five years ago. Namely she had inflamed intestines brought on by a gallbladder operation which caused an intestinal blockage brought on in part by having had a total of 9 intestinal operations over the years. This time it necessitated having the numerous adhesions and quite some internal scar tissue removed. It also required the surgeon to remove a part of her small intestines (with me it was two feet) before being able to glue the two severed parts together again.”

“INTO MY OWN
One of my wishes is that those dark trees,
So old and firm they scarcely show the breeze,
Were not, as ’twere, the merest mask of gloom,
But stretched away unto the edge of doom.
I should not be withheld but that some day
Into their vastness I should steal away,
Fearless of ever finding open land,
Or highway where the slow wheel pours the sand.
I do not see why I should e’er turn back,
Or those should not set forth upon my track
To overtake me, who should miss me here
And long to know if still I held them dear.
They would not find me changed from him they knew—
Only more sure of all I thought was true.”

“Into The Abyss
In the midst of the wailing winds
In the thickets of the ghastly fields
I found a ring lying on the ground
With the footsteps to follow around
Frightened yet resolute, out in the dark i go
In the willows beside the river
An old man creaked in his chair in a queer
"It has eyes everywhere,
You can't escape once you're here"
He whispered, as if his last breath
And out in the dark I go
In the cricket's cries, under the hollow moon
I saw a graveyard with tombs dug through
"Dead celebrate when the night is nigh
For they revel in the living's cry",
Said the men with the axe in tow,
And out in the dark I go
Somewhere out in the dark, distraught
The footprints I stumbled upon were gone
I had to return the ring, i thought
But the one i was carrying was gone
Where am I? I wish I would've known
I stared into the abyss, all alone
No soul within, nor outside stark
I shouldn't have gone out in the dark
I shouldn't have gone out in the dark”

“Into The Eyes of Racism (A Sonnet)
I looked into the eyes of racism,
All I found was insecurity.
I looked into the eyes of prejudice,
All I found was pretend sanity.
I looked into the eyes of bigotry,
All I found was savage inanity.
I looked into the eyes of hate,
All I found was delusion of purity.
I looked into the eyes of disparity,
All I found was mindless conformity.
I looked into the eyes of apathy,
All I found was spineless vanity.
I looked a lot and observed plenty,
It's time to burn bright against brutality.”

“Into the nothingness of scorn and noise,
Into the living sea of waking dreams,
Where there is neither sense of life or joys,
But the vast shipwreck of my life’s esteems;
Even the dearest that I loved the best
Are strange—nay, rather, stranger than the rest.”
