Clinging to nothing,
she moved effortlessly
through time and circumstance
until she was snagged
by a thorny thought.

Understory
A rough weave
this earthly carpet
of fallen autumn leaves.

Feeling Down, I Look Up
Feeling down, I look up
and see a single bird
in the early morning light.
I feel the ground beneath my feet,
hear the crunch of gravel as I walk.
The taste of coffee lingers in my mouth,
a scent of pine lingers in the air.
The senses soothe my fretting heart.
I open to the world and me.

Fast Dance and Slow
When the mind begins
a furious dance,
the breath can intervene
and with a deep
and measured sigh,
make space
for mind and body
to dance soulfully together.

Note To Unenlightened Self
Up and down,
round and round –
it’s time to get off
the misery-go-round,
leave this non-amusement park.

Amazonian Feat
They’re counting on us,
those trees who’ve given so much,
not to let them down.

Net Of Compassion
Their unexpected act of kindness caught
me by surprise,
lifted my
sinking
heart.

The Mix
The crunch of gravel,
the coo of dove, the caw of crow –
Monday morning melody.

Watching The Watcher
Seeking nothing, not
permission or argument,
she simply observes.
Creating will come later.
For now she watches,
open to whatever comes,
knowing something always does.
