today
The Sea
Endlessly the waves
reached up on the edge
to splash against the shore
—————————————-
Mantra of the sea
carries my spirit
Samadhi waves
deliver sea shells
to my doorstep
——————————————
And all the while
dolphins greet me
in their friendly fashion
Grateful Morning
“Good morning!”, she said with exuberance
“Thank goodness for this brand new day!”
And all the stars sang back
and the sun sent her extra love
and the flowers awoke
in a burst of new morning fragrance
“It is a good day to be alive!”
Foxes
Baby foxes trotting down
the road
Mischievious and playful
little tongues lolling
They bat each other in play
and roll in the sweet
aroma of redwood needles
and fox gaiety.
Woof!
Promise Kept
The promise kept
in word and deed
like a tiny seed germinates
Sends out roots and shoots
to grow and flourish
———————————-
I promised myself
in heartfelt earnest
and set about
fulfilling it
Joy grows in me
The Meadow
Over in the meadow
where the horses play
and those tiny yellow blossoms
bloom like wildfire
The verdant earth
and the turquoise sky
all join forces to provide
a visceral feast for my eyes
Ah! Life is rich!
