Spirit’s Sap
The branch so lofty
and gnarled
huge and magnificent
still reaches lightly
with every tiny fingerlet
for the inspiration
of the sky
toes buried deep and searching
groundedness
————————————–
May you be a conduit
today between above and
below for Spirit’s sap
Supplemental images
the wavering sparkle
of intricate web wet with dew
the lazy flight of nits
and bugs in the warm light
cascades of shades of green
cooling my experience
the ooze of wet dirt
between the planted toes
There is delight in the garden
with the bonus of vegetables
Inchworm
While waiting
for his back feet to catch up
inchworm contemplated
enjoying the moment
such a zen life
* * * * * * * * *
There is an eternity
in each and every
mo * ment
a lifetime
in the blink of an eye
Beacon of Truth
Abstract
in several worlds
with only a face
to portray
seven dimensional being
and still
at the point
of convergence
The heart
powered by love
shines
a beacon of truth
perceived or not
believed or not
throughout all
One
rain washes
the rain
washes
nourishes
embraces
tickles
pummels
traces the edges
ready rivulets
down my cheeks

Life…
may as well go for it
immerse in the miracle of it
swim in the stuff of it
dive in the thrill of it
float with the flow of it
What a gift!
Wet, wild, wonderful life
(It’s great when it’s sunny, too…)
Miss Sunshine
Grey and wet, dark and drippy
an opportunity for umbrellas
and other implements
Still, in her heart,
she remains “Little Miss Sunshine”
without pretense
or props
Such is the blessing
of grace
Integrity
Without a nod
to either side
no word spoke
nor encouragement
He chose to listen
to the quiet voice
and stepped out
in his own direction
his own man another day
awake by conscious choice
He fell upon the task at hand
allowed his Spirit full voice
Flourish
Love is like geraniums —
a profusion of beauty,
color and distinct perfume
yet rather common in it’s willingness
to flourish most
anywhere
Tree
“Leaf it to me,” he cried,
with outstretched branches
face aloft, eyes closed
braced for vigorous showers
——————————————–
Green
rich, palpable, shimmering
deep spring green
everywhere
feeds the eyes
awakens the soul
energizes, heals
Turtle Speed
A turtle on the road
kind of sloooow — ed
traffic
one car halted
to let her pass
others followed suit
each step honored
elder wisdom
One moment at a time
it was never the same
after that
