Flagship*
*The ship in a fleet which carries the commanding admiral.

**This music is also dedicated to freedom for the people of Ukraine**
Far away from home
Rain light
The old dog left home
Opening my darkened heart for Valentine’s Day
When cats, cougars, and lions dream




Interrupted Anger

Anger interrupted,
Dissolving dissonance,
Like ephemeral streams,
Quilting prairie terrain,
Meandering,
Through music,
Of my own making.
