Present

Sometimes

ours is not to “get it”

Understanding may come

oh, so very much later

Instead

right now is

simply right now

time to deal with “it”

or not

Engaged in each nuance

of the present moment

no more

Bear

Baring my soul to Bear

witness of my dreams

lumbering past

bushels of fears and fancies

medicine teacher

gruffly grumbles and growls

beware the bear hug

just might crush you

smothered in love

or cast you correction

with the bat of a paw

The Farm

On the farm
all work together
‘neath the sun’s sweet rays
in a symbiotic dance
of life
in interconnected wovenness
——————————-
Till me a tale
sing me a song
buzz ’round the blooms
and I’ll hum all day long

Faith and Grace

at the beginning
on a new day
ripe with possibilities
and deeply founded hope
Faith was born
of the heart
in a moment which stood still
for a moment
celebration
… back to work
breathing
until
the birth of Grace
Blessings

Momma Bird

Momma bird sits

the eye of peace upon me
a pile of sticks and feathers
beneath her
gentle sky peeking
through the greenage above

A gift of love
a piece of peace
laid out before me
