Flitting Color
Flitting is generally
for butterflies
brilliant flowers
with powdered wing
or jewel throated hummingbirds
winging on with joyous speed
But now and again
my heart has been known
to flit among the sacred
and shine brilliantly colorful
with ecstasy
Natural Alchemy
a pebble in the shallow water
enough to fill to overflow
a drop of magic elixir
the basis of life in physical form
nature’s alchemical formula
with a pebble for your thoughts
you anoint your future, your days…
a string of golden beads
from the past of black and white
may you know your golden nature
may you lead a golden life
Spiral Merry-Go-Round
Ooompah Ooompah
Ooompah-pah…
We all just keep
Circling in the spiral
Merry-go-round of Life
What a ride it is!
All on Board
His dreams were big
Profuse visions
Filled with joy and glory
expanding into consciousness sublime
• • •
As if on cue, his foot stepped out
with determination and faith
Though his eyes perceived
but a thin rope on which to tread
Thus, he boarded
the escalator to potential
Spiral Hug
Spiraling in
into center
until centered in
the void that is All
and nothing, in peace
a peaceful – piece full
Spiraling out
to infinity
to All
ad infinitum
Love expressing
in one big hug
Blessed Gardener
The gardener tends each tendril
for hours and hours
Weeding out some
so the preferred may grow
Lovingly nurturing, tying and feeding
watering and talking
instilling nutrients sublime
And now, the fruits of labor
sweet and succulent
green and rich
Ah, a blessed life
for the one who blesses life
with hand and effort
time and toil
Ganesha’s Dance
His musical spirit
Reflects that
Of dancing Ganesha
Once Ganesha gets moving
It’s like perpetual motion
His trunk flying
His belly bouncing
So it is with a song
In his musical mind
Jai Ganesha!
Joyous Outburst
Laughing
Full-body engaged
Tears trickling
In a little stream
Over pinkened cheeks
His joyous outburst
Overcame his countenance
And seeped into his bones
As heightened assurance
That Spirit had a sense of humor
Inner Angel
The heart with wings
soars at the rise of joy
Flutters softly
at the instance of fear
and excitement
The inner angel
the butterfly of metamorphosis
the heart with wings
Spirit gives my heart wings…
Wizard of Love
The wizardry of love
Heals the sadness of heart
Balms the painful spots
Of life’s machinations
• • •
Like a wizard
he stood on the precipice
arms akimbo
the wildness of his eyes
like electricity
through his hair
Alive! With love’s fire…!
