Gliding Leaves

Speckling through leaves
Sun tapped Morse code
on consciousness

Leaves danced all the while
with some kind of gentle fervor

Continuous and random gliding
through the wind

And acted as if
it were the other way around
Warmth in Light's passing

Bear and Rabbit

“How are we doing?” asked Mother Bear
seemingly so concerned with what Rabbit thought
“I’m afraid we’re short,” replied Rabbit
“Speak for yourself!” said Mother Bear
as she stood up and stretched to her full 7′
shaking off her lapse of self-assuredness
like raindrops in the sunlight
“Oooh – Sparkly!” said Rabbit
forgetting the whole conversation

Nostalgic Picture

Barefoot

the two walked

hand in hand, along the shore

 

A nostalgic picture

of simple romance

 

Yet secretly, separately

they dreamed of playing frisbee

 

Of splashing, running

hair blowing

 

Happy Squirrel

Walking on the fence
all jiggy with the up and down
of the dog-eared boards
 
Little squirrel, the acrobat
his tail flickering for balance
 
Who needs an umbrella
when you've got a tail?
 
What conflicted decision
when you're just a happy squirrel?

Twirling Into Light

She danced awake the stars
lifting her veil with panache
 
Dramatic undertones apparent
to even the passerby
 
As she twirled into light
the fiber of her universe
 
Colored past lines
of false limitations
 
Yet grounded in reality
of impossible made likely
in the flash of her jewels

Sweetness of Life

Stirring up the bowl of Life
She drizzled in a bit of honey
 
A simple thought of gratitude
to sweeten it up
