Riding the Stream
She was putzing
floating on the moment
from this project to that
Riding her stream of consciousness
until…..BAM!
the alarm rang
Wow — there was
a lot accomplished
Up and Down
Up….
Sky infused brilliant
softly piercing regal clouds
marching dynamically
rainbows, double rainbows
moon on the horizon
Down…
Crystalline ice castles sparkle
rich soil prepares for Spring
crackling underfoot
Up…
happy, loving, blessed, faithful
Down…
sad, angry, fearful, doubting
Me…
Travelling like a spaceship
amongst it all
Seeking Faith
It didn’t take a whole lot of effort
or even a moderate amount of thinking
to get to the edge of the cliff
the jumping-off spot
Where you’d like as not stop
to relish the fat fear
while seeking faith
in all the nooks and crannies
Where the words
could not prop you up
trepidating, vacillating
imitating courage
Until you were ready to leap
and lean on your wings
Sweet Yearning
Set apart, the heart
aches and yearns
without encouragement
the small heart turns
In appreciation and gratitude
expansiveness thrives
yearning is sweet
the Spirit and flesh alive
I appreciate life
and I am grateful!
Grateful
Happy to be Alive!
Yes! God, that’s great!
I am grateful…
And time keeps moving
from one moment to the next
how wonderful – Now
So, he never gave up
on the quality of his life
constantly improving
Gratitude was his ticket to ride
the roller coaster of Life
