In the Now
Gladly involved in fun
and fun-ness inspired
tip-toeing on fence tops
chasing the twittering birds
as they flutter by
Silly is as silly does
even on task-ness
as in basking in the sun
Tail flicking at air nits
relaxed readiness…
Alive!
Gladly involved in fun

Silly is as silly does

Tail flicking at air nits

Alive!
The branch so lofty
and gnarled
huge and magnificent
still reaches lightly
with every tiny fingerlet
for the inspiration
of the sky
toes buried deep and searching
groundedness
————————————–
May you be a conduit
today between above and
below for Spirit’s sap
“Leaf it to me,” he cried,
with outstretched branches
face aloft, eyes closed
braced for vigorous showers
——————————————–
Green
rich, palpable, shimmering
deep spring green
everywhere
feeds the eyes
awakens the soul
energizes, heals
Enlivened
Enlightened
Alive
Juicy juicy life

The peachy orb rose
at dusk, held tender
by intimate breezes
kept aloft and rising
by simply being
I breathed in the texture of it
and the scent of blooming trees
In the fullness of the day,
no props — just sun and warmth
light and light-heartedness
sprawled out on a lawn
new mown, smelling like watermelon
heart beat evident
to awakened consciousness
Is there any joy greater
in this moment?
