Sometimes
a single moment is enough
Within that tiny moment
worlds floating in eternity
A joy bigger
than this soul could imagine
The moment of inspiration
The moment of conception
The moment of birth
The moment of death
And every single moment between…
Over the course
of one moment in time
Several epiphanies
sparkle across
the skies of his bright mind
And that’s just the beginning…
She likes to futz
in the kitchen with flavors
and the clean dish
In the garden with ivy
and the occasional veggie
In the studio with pen and ink
and big brush on canvas
And, most of all,
in the turn of the phrases
and singing heartsongs
with the man in her life
A hidden spot, a verdant glade
with singing birds
dragonflies, butterflies
and tinkling stream
‘Neath a canopy of dancing leaves
and stately needles and cedars
A treasure for the senses
hidden in plain view
amidst the busy-ness
tucked within the city
A doorway into Home
“Are you muddled in the mind?”
she asked with huff and puff
As we sat there together
muddy from head to foot
Muddling, wiggling toes
and thoroughly enjoying
playing in the mud
“Nah,” we said
for it was clear as day
a Now moment
