That inner struggle
My heart wants roots
My mind wants wings.
I cannot bear
Their bickerings.

remind us
there is beauty
and the promise of fruit
even among the thorns.

on paths so

Mourning Dove
She sits and feeds,
strong and serene,
as squirrels
squabble
in the midst of plenty.

within or without,
I find some paper,
pick up a pen,,
take a breath,
and write.

There’s a light glowing in each one of us
even on dark
days and nights.
Be still.
Look.

Birds, bees, and butterflies flit here and there,
reminding us
of how we

Big Black Bird
Big Black Bird feeding
on my porch,
I’m glad you stopped by.
Will we become friends
or will we just have
a passing acquaintance?
It’s up to you.

Pie In The Sky
Grounded for several weeks, I look out my
window, pretend
I have wings
and can
fly.
