One Step…
“One step at a time…”
we’ve all heard the line
We know it’s true
it sits in our bones
Still, doesn’t it seem
that sometimes
We could just teleport
to our heart’s desire?
Nimble Hearts
That big guy, all nimbly on his toes
pirouetted and sang wowza songs
You and I in harmony
soft shoe along, a part of a throng
A chorus of silliness
light heartedness, all nimbly too
• • • •
May we ever dance
All nimbly
Joined at the heart
Of joyousness
Warming of the Heart
Sometimes I notice
the curl of your neck
or some other tender spot
And I’m reminded
In just that moment
of human vulnerabilities
And the warming of the heart
It’s then the butterflies arise again
And I am prompted to say something
Still and Rich
A checkered box
covered with jewel-like beads
And full to within an inch
of emptiness, still and rich
Such is my day
such is my life
Such is the experience
when immersed
in love and gratitude
All That Is
Who put the thought out there
with glowing lights
and propping up implements
That All that is
is limited by our limitations
That Infinity fits in a box
that All could be nothing?

Little squirrel contemplated
All that is for a moment
Before leaping off the branch
in search of a nut
