Full Bucket
Fill your being
Like a bucket at the well
Every moment
You remember
Every day, every day
Peace, joy, bliss…
Drink it all in
Near the Line
a while back
with tilted eyes and monikers
whilst tippy toes clod-hopped
she discovered
quite unobtrusively
that quietly
with no pomp
the circumstance of near arrival
of a large marking of time
spent judiciously
on a daily basis
was fast approaching
the fear of success
or the idea of achievement
hobbled her
almost instantaneously
so much so
that all regular habits
died on the spot
* * *
still
the roots live
deep and strong
whether near some invisible line
or not
and new sprouts and shoots
are bound to grow

Unique
The star on your forehead
Shines brightest
When you are steeped in innocence
Or when you belly up to the playground
What makes you so special?
That’s easy!
You are a unique individual
Within the whole of Life
And, the Universe loves you beyond measure
Buddy Fun
Me and my best buddy
are easily entertained
It doesn’t take much
for the Muse to strike us
with ideas – two- four or many
Flinging epiphanies
singing new songs
giggling at each other
Oh, my! It’s so much fun!
Plains of Love
In the company of horses
we can ride the plains of love
Seeking the one enthralling vista
where misted mountains
hug chilled and pristine lakes
Or in mundane moments
we can ride the dusty trail
past the old abandoned well
…………………………
On a steed of strength and power
allowing free rein
We can experience the wildness
as we can gallop through unknown terrain
Persistence
Turtle moves slowly
(except when he moves fast)
And, in a persistent way,
gets where he’s going…
eyes on his goal
Take the time to
breathe in Gratitude
as the turtle
slowly plods across
the road
