Pulling it All Together

Momma bird gets it
all together
A stick here
a thread there
A bit of fuzz
and loving intent
until the nest is woven
Eggs ensconced
in the patchwork places
for them to hatch
————————–
May your thoughts
all pull together

Organic Feelings

She tells her stories
With big engagement
Ensconced in the drama
Riding along the emotions
It’s so real
Until the day
Immersed in silence
The bliss overwhelming
Detachment was born
She tells the stories
As if, as if
Digging into the rich soil
Organic feelings
Harvested by wisdom’s hands
Tasty, juicy tomato tales

Respect

The crinkly old
grand-poobah spider
 
Slowly made his way
over to the grand watering hole
all full of himself
 
“I deserve respect,” he knew…
then, the big hand…

Sacred Wheel

Fruit flies are the vultures
of the insect world
keeping the cycle turning
 
Every part of the wheel
is sacred…

Rocky

Bouncy, even almost bumbly
the mass of his body jiggly
as he ran on his little hand paws
across the city street
Attempting, unsuccessfully
to look like a common housecat
The night thief scumbled
in the busy-ness  of daylight
That disguise is a bit “rocky”
Yet, I didn’t turn him in
That friendly neighbor
never did me any harm
