Salad
That little bug
The one I’d never seen before
With his iridescent wings
And that smiley marking
On his little shoulder
Just walked into my salad
Is it still safe to eat…?
(sans the buggy protein of course)
Reputation of Repetition
He expanded his philosophy
as they expounded on theories
The reputation of repetition
rose the bar on understanding
Etheric answers floated
midst fancy verbal construction
drifting up near the ceiling
of comprehended truth
Oh, the heady beauty of
bantered intellectual gardening
An Eternal Moment of Love
Angels singing
with the mourning dove
wakes me to the new day
whispering my name
my real name…
Meanwhile
the praying mantis
is always praying
every moment
with every part of its being
Such is living in the now
In the Now
I eternally love life
Nuts to You (and to me)
The nut of it
The kernel of eternal truth
can be a bit tough
to get to
through the shell
AH! But the meat is tasty!
Sudden Verve
On the bank of the wide old river
where the elderberry and mugwort
wave to each other in the breezes
A plodding turtle family
came upon a band of musical crickets
prepping up for an evening concert
Suddenly
with verve
Happy turtles…
First Meeting
Their first meeting…
a faded drop of paint
off in a plain section of washes
as if the brush was afraid of the paper
The background of pastel strangers
sketched with tenuous bristle
into hours of exuberant meeting
The images of tree and bush
river near lake, appeared
a landscape of love becoming
tendrils and clouds emerging
Like the constructs of humans
the garden wall was built
and covered with vines almost instantly
So strong the urge to grow and flower
celebrating each day of life together
