On Time
He was always on time
for his life…
Every delay, every stumble
Every time he fell
into the abyss —
He was always
perfectly on time…
The Rainbow of Friendship
Arced high above their heads
like a rainbow bridge of hope and joy
The aura of their love
vibrated the air with
the strong energy
of their friendship and commitment…
The Wheel

simply ever spinning
Yet where it touches with friction

in front of him

Surrounds me–it’s all you are
Permeates and snuggles in
Instills life in reality
Spirit = Love
Buddy
Hey there buddy,
Ole’ pal of mine—
How’s your gizzard?
Hope you’re doing fine…
You’re my best friend —
Call my heart your home,
So I picked up this pen
To write you a poem
Thought it may seem silly
With rhyme and things
Wanted you to know how much joy
You, in my life, brings
Alligator Lizard
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…
