In the Now

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!

Spirit’s Sap

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

Tree

“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

Juicy Moon

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

Joy Moment

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?
