On Time

He was always on time
for his life…

Every delay, every stumble
Every time he fell
into the abyss —

He was always
perfectly on time…

The Rainbow of Friendship

Arced high above their heads
like a rainbow bridge of hope and joy

The aura of their love
vibrated the air with
the strong energy
of their friendship and commitment…

The Wheel

The wheel goes round and round
simply ever spinning

Yet where it touches with friction
the outside world

It causes the cart
to move along the path

The Hawk

On the sun-bleached fencepost
near the gnarled knot
sat the resting red-tail hawk
in her favorite warming spot

Unnoticed by the passing cars
in her silent vigil there
her ruffled feathers beautiful
eyelids muffling her intense stare
——————————————
I salute the wild hawk
and all the flying beings!

Full

She felt the warmth
seep into her bones…

Like sands in the hour glass
She noticed the light
and love filled her up

Until she literally radiated
with great exuberance

Little Bug

Full of it, little bug
stuck out his chest

As he boastfully
approached the morsel of food

“Manna” that had just appeared
in front of him

Uplifted

Uplifted heart
awakened and surrounded
by many hours brimming
to overflowing with joy
and held together
by the ultimate superglue – love

Love

Love, love, …love
That’s all I’ve got to say

In the face of everything
Any time and any day

Fills me up–it’s all I am
Surrounds me–it’s all you are

Permeates and snuggles in
Instills life in reality

Spirit = Love

Buddy

Hey there buddy,
Ole’ pal of mine—
How’s your gizzard?
Hope you’re doing fine…

You’re my best friend —
Call my heart your home,
So I picked up this pen
To write you a poem

Thought it may seem silly
With rhyme and things

Wanted you to know how much joy
You, in my life, brings

Alligator Lizard

Alligator Lizard

A visitor in my garden
the lizard appeared on the wall
just sunning and all
and getting a drink near the hose
—————————————————–
Alligator lizards
tiptoe-ing through my consciousness
holding still for eternity

In each moment between
holding still in all brilliance

Thinking lizard thoughts
and warm…
