A Twig for Your Thoughts

Pick a twig
off a lavender bush
Pull off the bottom leaves
and stick it in the earth
It grows…
What if we were like that?
Actually… 
our thoughts are!

Falls Trek

It’s time to plant
A winter’s garden
To toil in soil and clear ground
Make way through summer’s crop
and begin fall’s trek into winter
The seeds of greenness and deep roots
flourish in the autumn warmth
‘Neath still moist earth
rushing lazily to break through
• • •
 
There are seasons to our growth
and times to clear tired and leggy leftovers
from a season past
May your new harvest be bountiful…

Song Flower

Roots deep in the rich muck
sing out beauty

Infusing your spirit
to the flowering of your
song of love

One petal
one moment at a time…

Ivy

He grew like ivy
wild and tenacious
Ever seeking the way
over or around
the fences of his life
Ever popping up anew
in barren spots
and even those occupied by others
With fresh new tendrils
of growth and creativity
