Perspective

A hike up the mountain
in the stillness of my mind
Where pale green buds
burst open into pink
at the perfect time
A hike with minimal effort
or scrabbling through rocky slopes
And with brilliant sunshine
and soothing blue above
Soon I reach the summit
scanning horizons of my life
Gaze with peace at the beauty
joining eagle in his flight

“Aw, gee,” said little bug, “Why me?”
Then he took up
the load he was given
and walked off
toward his destination

Head to Heart to Home

Head to Heart to Home


Awakening…
small voice becoming
recognizable in the din
of every day
of everyone
Hearing the whispers
of the small one
lean into the listening
walking softly
on my path
