The lizard clings
to the warm rock
Basking in the love
and warmth of Sky Father
Gathering speed to jet away
Spirit fuel is much
like rocket fuel…
Lizard puffed up in the grass
tried to look like a snake
On the rock, he stood still
-“freeze and they won’t see me”-
until we got too close
Then, he resembled a twig
in the strong wind
as he whizzed away
Survival looks many ways
when you’re small
Still, you can always grow a new tail
a new appendage of healing

Lizard dreams while sunning
while sunning on a nice warm, flat rock
happiness is my heart’s name
on foggy morning
————————————-
Last summer on rock
like cold blooded lizard sunned
welcomed sun in bones
————————————
Two haikus ’bout bones
summer residing in them
warm rocks are my friends

A visitor in my garden
the lizard appeared on the wall
just sunning and all
and getting a drink near the hose
—————————————————–
Alligator lizards
tiptoe-ing through my consciousness
holding still for eternity
In each moment between
holding still in all brilliance
Thinking lizard thoughts
and warm…
