In This Moment

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…

Acceptance

Over the course
of one moment in time

Several epiphanies
sparkle across
the skies of his bright mind

And that’s just the beginning…

Turn the Phrase

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

Doorway into Home

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

In the Mud

“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
