Bath of Spirit

The Daily Napkin

Bath of Spirit

Steeped in a bath
of Spirit stuff —-
full flavor
awakening and expanding
like her favorite tea,
she flowered and blossomed,
even more than when a bush,
more fully with every bit
of her being.
–Always loved baths.

Urchins

The Daily Napkin


Urchins

Significant urchins
streaming through
my mind
scratching and tickling
as urchins do.
“Won’t they stop?”
No never, except perhaps
for a sip of fresh made
lemonade occasionally.

Daily Journey

The Daily Napkin

Overflowing with soft
exuberance
and filled at center
by Spirit’s light,
ten thousand times,
they made the distance
from head to heart and
became a beacon into night.
When all the circle
joins the laughing
then let the new dance begin
yet once again

Yucca Hummer

The Daily Napkin

Into the desolate places
of my life
Where no stinky bug
dared to tread,
No spiders set up web
and where only the crevices
carved by tears
bore evidence of green life
— into those desolate places
of my psyche —
there flew a hummingbird
hovering before my face
and awakening my heart

Unfamiliar Joy

The Daily Napkin
The unfamiliar joy
just crept around his
edges, having already
found a warm and comfy
hiding spot in his
heart.
“Eeeek!” he thought,
“What is this ‘creepy’ feeling?”
Ah ha
Hazzah, Yah foo tah!
