Send a drop of kindness,
And see a happy face.
A drop of kindness goes real far,
It may even reach outer space.
Send a drop of love,
And feel a loving embrace.
It feels so good to feel like,
You are in the right place.
Send a drop of hope,
But be that shinning star.
Hope is wonderful to have,
But sometimes you can’t sit away so far.
Send a drop of faith,
With a single prayer.
And God will show the way,
As faith is always there.

You look for an angel
Beautiful and stunning
You look for a goddess
Mysterious and cunning
You look for amazement
Perfection all around
Beauty bewitching
Lyric unsound
You wonder in stupidity
Across the world and ocean blue
Not seeing that your perfect girl
Is standing right in front of you
-Katie Rose Waechter

A garden of flowers
Trees and plants
Cigarette buds and litter
But only at first glance
A common place
For folk to enjoy free time
Smoke and eat seeds
Or drink some wine
A garden with life
Laughter and tears
A garden with friendship
Shared food and shared fears
A place many go
To talk to everyday
A common meeting ground
After being away
Where people stop by
To make plans for the eve
But always come back
After their goal was achieved
Always at least one
With a cig or a toke
Always in the garden
Are the Garden Folk
–Katie Rose Waechter
This poem is dedicated to the memory of Brian (Monty). I will always miss you. I will always miss San Francisco.
Hold fast to dreams
For if dreams die
Life is a broken-winged bird
That cannot fly.
Hold fast to dreams
For when dreams go
Life is a barren field
Frozen with snow.

Rain
prittle prattle, prittle prattle
On the roof top above
Creates the sensation of a drowsy membrane
Or maybe it
tittle tattles, tittle tattles
As it hits the window
and waters the flowers on my window pane
My cat
purr, purr, purrs
Demanding my attention
Biting the pen I use to write
Meowing at me all the same
Breathe
in and out, in and out
My eyelids grow heavy
Perhaps ill sleep while it rains
–Katie Rose Waechter
Water dancing on
Sand and rock, sand dancing on
Sand dunes, wind dance too

Does the heart justify its body?
When bodily pain covers the feelings underneath
The needle, the knife, and the love they don’t know
Is it ok if this justification only comes in sleep?
Do people justify society?
When they pay just to be the same
When society dominates people
Is their uniqueness covered shame?
Will you justify my love?
If I give you my heart and lend you my hand
Will you be there forevermore
When I grow old and can barely stand?
Does the end justify the beginning?
And the middle – bad as it may be
Is the result worth its actions
Filled with sadness or filled with glee?
-Katie Rose Waechter
