Hearts Aligned

When we raise our voices together
in harmoniousness
or some facsimile thereof
making joyousness, we align hearts
 
When we all face North
(or East or South or West)
Moving together as one
 
In a line dance of longing
and gratitude, calling the Divine
we align our spiritual focus
 
When we sit together in silence
open receptacles ready and waiting
synergistic energy arises
as we align body, mind, and soul

Silliness Lovers

Emotive nonsense
tickles my fancy
so, I do a little dancy
waving my arms
 
You can be silly
and play willy nilly
while the full moon plots
to whisper sweet nothings
 
The pool is full
and it’s spilling over
Oh, we’re silliness lovers
and that grape got away!

Peace

Two words must be relinquished
to know peace
“If only…”
I accept what is
I am joyous now

Cavorting

Like cavorting dolphins
they flowed through life
seemingly carefree
 
With unabashed abandon
poking at turtles
and elbowing whales
…………………………………………
 
Exuberance abounds
in my heart of hearts
 
When we allow our little kids
from the inside into outside
to cavort and play

Bring Out the Sun

To bring out the sun:

Sing, sing

with all your heart


Whether it be silent

on the tongue

or roaring from

your soul’s center


Let your joyousness

wreak havoc

on the dismal weather

of mind
