Twice
the delicate white spider
deliberately walked
the circumference
of our circle, then disappeared
Who was that blessing us?
What part of me-you-us-all?
Self-affirmation of the One
Once I cleared the horizon
I discovered the only way
to have no reference
was to have no relationship
Which really is impossible,
as wherever I go,
I’m part of the Infinite
Partners in life (but not crime)
In celebration and growth
In sadness and sickness
In joy and contemplation
Partners in humor and dance
In cleaning and work
In entertainment and travel
In reverence and strength
Partners for now each day
In tomorrows and yesterdays
In tears and smiles
For a long, long while
Howdy partner, saying “Hi,”
As we traverse this life, you and I
The awesome power
within one little seed
Grows into the magnificence of life
expressing fully
Every conscious thought
is such a seed…
Plant a magnificent garden today
She and I were twins once long ago
“two peas in a pod” – they said
meanwhile, clucking tongues
flapped about antics
We rode bears like horses
arms outstretched, faces alight
Rolled in the grasses and mugwort
plucking chamomile tops to bite
Until glistening hair washed in the creek
hung all akimbo and full
of bits and stems, flowers and blades
The winds were delighted, as they sang
our wild song in whispered shouts
Once on the very tip
of my nose
a butterfly landed…
a kiss that blesses always
Precious are the gifts of Life
Life can be as dramatic
as a tragedy
and as exuberant
as a musical
Your choice…
