La-Dee-Dah!

La-Dee-Dah!

 
 
“I rest my life upon the sure foundation…”
 
In thought and word and deed
she emulates that which
lights her spirit
 
She embodies that which
enlightens mine
 
A center for expression of good
beautiful and creative
eternal and victorious
 
Wisdom pouring out
splashing and splattering
with verve
upon a parched
a thirsty ground
as though its’ source
is limitless
 
And, so, it is,
and so, she says,
“La-dee-dah!”

 

Humbled

Humbled

 
 
Humbled
 
She invited me
into her heart, her home…
the center of her life.
 
There, the loveliness
of her elder spirit, quite
rooted in the Joy of her
exuberant little girl,
shown in quiet simplicity
through every detail.
 
Humbled, I am, by her
solid brilliance.

 

Elder King

Held up by his crown
of silver earned by years
the ethereal golden crown sits
—————————————–
The double-crowned elder king
accesses wisdom unfound
and unheeded in younger years
He wields power beyond brawn
and physical circumstance
—————————————
I honor the elder king’s powers of
reflection and realization
humbleness and compassion 
and others born of both 
gold and shadowed silver…
