Up….
Sky infused brilliant
softly piercing regal clouds
marching dynamically
rainbows, double rainbows
moon on the horizon
Down…
Crystalline ice castles sparkle
rich soil prepares for Spring
crackling underfoot
Up…
happy, loving, blessed, faithful
Down…
sad, angry, fearful, doubting
Me…
Travelling like a spaceship
amongst it all
It didn’t take a whole lot of effort
or even a moderate amount of thinking
to get to the edge of the cliff
the jumping-off spot
Where you’d like as not stop
to relish the fat fear
while seeking faith
in all the nooks and crannies
Where the words
could not prop you up
trepidating, vacillating
imitating courage
Until you were ready to leap
and lean on your wings
Set apart, the heart
aches and yearns
without encouragement
the small heart turns
In appreciation and gratitude
expansiveness thrives
yearning is sweet
the Spirit and flesh alive
I appreciate life
and I am grateful!
Happy to be Alive!
Yes! God, that’s great!
I am grateful…
And time keeps moving
from one moment to the next
how wonderful – Now
So, he never gave up
on the quality of his life
constantly improving
Gratitude was his ticket to ride
the roller coaster of Life
There is balance and peace
in each moment spent aware
Stepping along the planned path
It is another good day to be alive…
The focal point of his Spirit
The man was vocal
In most every regard
The pursuit of astute phrases
Beguiled his appetite
Even in the midst of silence
The poet’s soul, a local bard
And extraneous verbiage
A mirror with two sides
Melody runs beneath it
