Flying

Perhaps I’ll fly one day
when my brain is so aligned with Spirit
so that I sprout wings
of angel-like quality

In the meantime…
always in my dreams!

Seven Years of Blessings

On the path to Nirvana
in the world of mundane
There I met a traveler
with visions much the same

The more we shared our stories
and lessons we had learned
we discovered mutual interests
as well as bridges we had burned

On the road together
for oh, so many seasons
my love for you just gathers
for quickened hearts own reasons
A blessing in this lifetime
My joy with you keeps growing
I’m grateful for you, my partner
and for listening to inner knowing

Today we celebrate 7 years of marriage. We have been recognizing that a lot of life’s cycles run in 7 year increments so we have been consciously defining the changes of our relationship, and thereby experiencing a great deepening of the richness of it. Happy anniversary, my love.

Free Flow

Every moment
is a miracle

Breath in
the free flow of Spirit
bringing miraculous life
into and out of existence

Breathe out
allow yourself to rest
in the cradle of life
the moment of peace

Today, I breathe Life…

Dancing Bug

Little bug was so pleased
with soulful eclectic funk
he had discovered in himself
while preparing for the day

that he practically
danced right on past his destination
before he realized it…

Leafing Soon

Caterpillar tiptoed
careful not to put
more than one toe at a time
in the sludge

Nose in the air aloof
beefing up her arguments
“I’ll be leafing soon,”
she said to the wind

When, in fact, she knew
she’d best get on with it…

Road of Happy Destiny

On the road of happy destiny
wearing joy faces with pizzazz
our hearts are intertwined
in sentiment’s design

Whether we march or skip or leap
makes naught a difference
for the eloquent camaraderie
a snappy rhythm keeps

Intended by a promise
to keep each other’s company

It’s so much fun going there
and traveling home again…

White Hot Halo

Either a halo
or white hot wild fire

Hair flutters on unknown breezes
as he traverses the inner circle
winding up the altar of Life’s gifts

Passionate eyes ablaze with beauty
like shooting stars
riding on zephyrs of harmony

He is a vision of Shiva dancing
arms akimbo in directive gestures
grounding with each footfall
in gratitude for the Earth

He weaves the web of Live with voices
The song, Oh, the song of infinite Love

Such sweetness fierce
cracks open the heart with tears of delight

Happy 79th Birthday, Doug!

Next Big Leap

Little squirrel sat
on the branch
eyes squoze shut

“I DO believe I can,”
he repeated the mantra
over and over

as he contemplated
that next big leap

Do, Be, Have

To Be…
Singular in focus
a source of Peace
A smile that travels exponentially
the diving pebble
A conscious co-creator
In community
To Do…
The next true thing
Follow the nudges of the heart
listen to the still voice
To Have…
A lucid life complete

and splendidly on purpose

Falling on Tasty Color

Made of overt color
capable of startling nourishment
through the retina

Banging on the door
of ability to perceive
It literally rocked stable concepts
with inexplicable aplomb
and a spattering of stutters
in shades of gray
——————–

Fed until staggering
by colors and hues
so vibrant, so thick

The taste of them
makes my cheeks curl

Ah, abundance of Autumn!
