The path meandered
around this fountain
up over the footbridge
down by the huge oak
in the valley
He was always taking shortcuts
getting caught in the brambles
slipping on the rocky slope
One day, he just stuck to the path
Ah, what a peaceful experience…
Little spider
loves to gnaw
on his food
on his problems
on big soft pink mountains
like me
He gives a whole new meaning
to solving problems
one bite at a time
Little abalone lotus
teaches me about life
“Aah – Baloney!” it says
when faced with illusion
Still, the lotus is lovely
the many petals reflecting
all the colors of creation
Pitching our dreams
to the winds o’er the cliffs
Above the valley
of the unknown
They fluttered and flapped
as they fell into the updraft
Our hopeful strings attached
they rose like colorful kites
on the warm breezes
of our breath
Glistening, sparkling in the sunlight
glowing like helium balloons
in the night
Everyone of us
starts off in life
with at least two miracles
under our belt
Two and counting
Every day after that
that we continue to breathe
is another miracle
May today and everyday
here on out be miraculous
beyond your sweetest dreams
Celebrate the miracle of you…
Traveling on the bumpy road
of Happy Destiny
I came upon
a sleeping rhinoceros
harboring a sweet dream smile
in a most un-rhinoceros way
I’ve heard of letting sleeping dogs lie
and I’ve seen an elephant in the room
Still, what’s the proper procedure
when rhino’s dream?
