Sliding Raindrops
Raindrop slides along side
new bud budding slow
Bare branches soak it in
moisture fat and drippy
• • • •
Contemplating silence
in the midst of drips
and drops and gurgles
Whets imagination
Wets the dry earth
Sandy Respite
Sullied sand
‘neath crimson sunset
Harried by none
slowly sifts away trouble
————————————–
Rest my bones
on the beach
between sand and sun
while breezes wash
my brow with kisses
———————————–
Ah, Respite!
For This Moment
For this moment
I am open to guidance
as I remember to breathe in
the energy of life
and listen to the small, still voice
For this moment
I am grateful in every cell
for the wonderful gift of life
and the blessings showered upon me
right now
For this moment
I remember the power of humility
to heal me, keep me right-sized
and open the door to joy
The Sea
Endlessly the waves
reached up on the edge
to splash against the shore
—————————————-
Mantra of the sea
carries my spirit
Samadhi waves
deliver sea shells
to my doorstep
——————————————
And all the while
dolphins greet me
in their friendly fashion
Greeness
Lush verdant greens fill the senses
healing hearts, soothing sight
velvet moss and delicate fern
in silence listen to water’s fall
wearing away world weariness
plummeting babble
massaging the soul
awakening now the quiet depths
within
