Birth of a Song

He stepped into the meadow
and many dragonflies greeted him
in the lightly slanted sunlight

His Spirit frolicked
as the new song burst
fully formed

From his lips, from his heart,
and from his grateful Spirit

Gratitude Dance

Caterpillar inched along
the caterpillar path

Marked only in his mind
with determination and zeal

Doing his little gratitude dance
with all his hairy legs
every 2-3 feet or so

Oh-PAH!

Potential Contemplation

Sitting on the shore of contemplation
he let the tsunami of love
wash over him

The look of bliss on his face
incredibly sweet…

One more time, he realized,
another moment appeared

Full of potential
for any kind of experience
he wished to have

*Note: Just to let you know what’s been happening with the Daily Napkin, Marshal fell off a ladder three Sundays ago and has not been going to work for the last two weeks while he recovers from his injuries. His healing is progressing quite well, thank you, and he will most likely be returning to work next week. In the meantime, we will fill in with some past Napkins that haven’t been posted before. Our apologies for two weeks of no posting and please enjoy.

Full Gut

Fork it!
That’s what I say…

Fork it
and eat it up
with great relish!

Life ‘tis
for full ingesting
so, feel that fullness in your gut

————————————

Down home humor
fills my gut

With the sweet ache
of so much laughter

That all “ails” me
is healed with glee

May Bridge

May blooms
as a bridge

Between winter’s grey
and summer’s crowning

May this May
bloom in your Spirit…

Sweeping Smile

Whenever she thought
about him

Without the slightest hesitation
a smile swept across her being

As her heart empathized
with Love’s energy
