Singular Blossom

Like an orchid
the rare beauty of his life
blossomed singularly
 
In contrast to the stark stem
of the daily rut
 
Which provided him
sustenance and grounding
else, he might drift

The Waiting Joy

(Dedicated to all of the mothers in waiting; past, present, and future.)
 
Momma Bird sings
as she sits
 
Sings internally
in her patience
and the waiting joy
 
This song is louder
than the whistling outer song
or the mourner's call
 
Yet only heard
by patient heart
 

Seed of Change

Like a seed of change
his inspiration
took root in his actions
 
Ever connecting
his consciousness
with Spirit

Fox is Fox

Fox crept up on hen house
hiding his brilliance
in shadows and stealth
 
Moving smoothly
with nary a squeak
or crack of a twig
 
Seeking only
a way into dinner
at the diner
 
To feed his own fur
and his family's
 
Fox is being the best fox he can

Delighted Face

So, there I was
caught in a summer rain
 
Clouds and mist to the left of me
rainbow on my right
 
My face delighted
washed gently by God
 
My heart filled up
every fiber tingled, alive
 
When I awoke
to the blessedness of the moment
