This is a collection of poems that I am trying to grow.

There are days when a poem surprises me and visits me…
while riding the bus,
or the Metro …
or when I am walking to work —

in transit…

One can never choose when poetry is born —
I believe that it is a sister to WONDER—
where begins wisdom and ignorance—
they have their own time…
free..
unbeholden–
always enviably themselves—

we always wait for beauty
and when she comes
and pays us a visit—
there is nothing to do
but be thankful—

To the muse…
thanks for dropping in on my life when you want to..

To all of you who drop by in NG’s_poetry…
thanks for wasting some time with me
as I celebrate life in this way…

May we all be surprised at one time or another by the gift
that is God’s -to start with- alone…
the gift of all that has the capacity to last,
to bridge the here and now
to the abyss of what is...

Love comes from an understanding
that the other understands a little
of what is—
it is in the recognition
that we are not alone in this darn (ahem) world…
and that we can walk with others…

Thanks for being my companions…

and if looked at in this sense…
then I guess we can say
that with poetry
love can be borne for one another…
