Acceptance
Over the course
of one moment in time
Several epiphanies
sparkle across
the skies of his bright mind
And that’s just the beginning…
Merrily we Flow Along
Thwarted, shorted,
snagged, and tripped
He finally got the idea
“Gee, maybe I’m
fighting the flow”
So, he let go, surrendered
and rode the current.
“Ah, yes!”
Merrily, merrily, merrily, merrily…
Tea Cup
A delicate, even dainty, tea cup
beautiful old style china
with a tiny chip on the lip
Sits on the glass shelf
on display in plain view
Inside a road map
drawn in brown-tiny cracks
and pits and stains
from years of daily use
Navigation through terrain
of heart and tears,
laughter and dreams
Immaculate Silence
When the breeze whispers past
the early morning blossoms
Sweet nothings
tickle my ears
As I contemplate
the immaculate silence
As the Crow Walks
Speculating on the crows
those that lately let me know
that coyote medicine exists
even in the bird world
(which is actually the same world)
++++++++++++++++++++++
Hop, hop, look quick, hop
the big black bird
plays chicken with my car
hop, hop, quick look, stop
Right in the middle of the road
++++++++++++++++++++++
Crow has a message for me
I think I’ll pay attention
‘cause here comes a bunch of them…
Spirit and Me
My cup runs over
as I’m filled with Spirit
and I’m deep in joy
through my heart of hearts
Spirit is my partner
simply my best friend
and I know for sure
that you stand by me
So, let’s dance abundance
as we are all filled with Spirit
We can share our joy
with the rest of the world
Sweet Friendship
They sprinkled spices
on their friendship
and a bit of sweetness, too
Every time they escaped
the mundane ho-hum
thoughts of each other
Dancing instead
out the side door
into the lovely sunlight
Big Dog Joy
and the big heart
smiling and wagging
for all his exuberance
could not be stifled
All One
Far, far away from here
the rain falls
the worms and bugs crawl
And there are folks
not much different than us at all
Life’s experiences and foibles
circle ‘round
from city to town
On top of the world or down
humanity laughs and frowns
All One…
Traveling Somewhere
There is a valley verdant and pristine
between here and there
The road dips round and through it
as I’m travelling somewhere
Meadows of flowers, grasses and bush
shades of green never seen elsewhere
beneath short wooded mountains
and dynamic blue skies
Beauty that takes the breath…
I saw a double rainbow there
once upon a trip through
and only lingered in my mind
to absorb its beauty
as I sped by in my car
