Expectant Dawn
Right before dawn
there is an expectancy
Sung cheerfully
through every beak
Felt hopefully
in every leaf
just after that darkest part
New day dawning
new beginning begun
Bearing Fruit
After a lifetime full
of bearing fruit
limbs heavy with their bounty
The gnarled old tree stood majestically
all a-bloom
festooned for spring
As if only a youngster
pumped and prepared
for a dance
or other jubilant merriment
Full of joyousness and anticipation
of the fruit of another season
Waiting in Line
A wellspring of ideas
and insights
He played word games, wrote songs
and practiced tiddly winks
While he waited
patiently in line…
Dappled Shadows
Quaking leaves
dancing, sparkling
dappling the shadows
Loving the sun
with all their beingness
Played a symphony
on the wind…
Grand Life (Full Reign)
Like a big happy face cartoon sun
every ounce of myself
was beaming joyousness at the world
My toes were dancing independently
and my cheeks were pinking
As my hands engaged
in the depths of creative fury
————————————-
Ah!
Life is grand when in sync
Everything is right
when I allow guidance
full joyous reign (and rein)
Valentine
Who says there’s only one?
Just a single day…
to express love for another?
Phooey!
Each and everyday I wake
with the added thrill
of you aligned with me
Love is unending and permeates all
and it is ever my pleasure
to express it in myriad ways
—— ——- ———————
And – Happy Valentine’s Day, too…
