Curly Clouds

Freshly Bombarded
with blessings of color
Bright trees
and curly clouds
on a brisk and brilliant day
Grasses muted in season’s end
swirled and layed down
And danced again
with cheerful leaves
————————————————————————————–
Awakened senses or not
Natures praises
Grace…

Mental Fury

Taming the fury in my mind
I listened to the whispers of my heart
felt the longings of my soul
Riding the rapids of emotions
I centered on the tractor beam of Spirit
stayed focused on the point of Love
And found peace in the midst of Life

Thought Horizon

When the sun arises
on the horizon
of my thoughts
All the silly little fearful ones
scatter to hide
in the shadows
Today is a bright day—
no hiding places left

Sweet Glen

Not too long ago
just across that stream of consciousness
In a sweet glen
of fern and speckled sunlight
Baby deer awoke
to the fullness of heart
inherent in all that lives

Nature’s Gifts

Barefeet cuddled and softly cushioned
by mounds of wooly thyme
Sweet jasmine curls around the nose
on soft perfumed breezes climb
That was then and this is now
the leaves all oranges and reds
And mums bright bouquets
with sharper smell
show off their fancy heads
Spring or fall, it matters not
summer or winter, too
Nature’s gifts are here for us
so just take off your shoes

Happy Dog

The thing I like about
a happy dog is
Dog doesn’t give a rip
what the silly grin looks like
Dog just exudes joy
That’s why dog works so well
for the G-O-D anagram
Joy, joy, joy, joy, joy!

Jester

When you meet
the jester on the road
sometimes the jester
turns
and steps in cadence
with you for a while
*  *  *  *  *  *
May as well dance

Guava Squirrel

“Day in and day out
as an expression of infinite source
an artesian spring of love,
my heart overflows
bubbling over with sweet joy
Blessed beyond measure
by gratitudes grace…”
——————————————-
Thus, thought squirrel
without the words
in his tiny moment of contemplation
before partaking of guava
praying over natural bounty
Mmmm–yummy!

Beauty and Joy

Many years ago I made the conscious decision to choose joy in my life, and went about discovering how that could be more my experience than some alternative one. Filling my cup with that joy, that beauty, is a life long endeavor, achievable only one moment at a time.
