Friends helped me pull the circuit breaker that
stopped the crazy
circular
loop of
thought
and
feeling
running through
my system. Once
stilled, I felt a sudden surge of wisdom.

On Reflection
I’d like to think it was me and not its
own reflection
that drew that
sparrow
to
my
window –
ah it’s back –
that eternal
romantic versus realist duel.

Insight
It’s funny how our vision improves when
we open our
eyes, unseal
our hearts
and
let
the doors
of our minds
swing wide and free –
something not encouraged by Fox tv.

On My Way
After being trapped in a sauna of
small stuff, I say
no more sweat
for me
’cause
I’m
going
to head for
a higher ground
of cool surveyance and a broader view.

Beyond Contention
When I’m not arguing for or against,
who knows what will
come from a
center
where
all
are held?
What will sprout
when contention
cracks and new green is allowed to emerge?

When Awareness Returns
When awareness returns, I can see through
the fog of thought
and breathe in
shoulders
held
tight,
breathe out
tall, swaying
trees shimmering
at water’s edge in early morning light.

Big Questions
Caught in an argument, I ask myself,
” Do I want to
connect or
do I
want
to
win?” This
is enough
to give me pause…
Can I listen to both myself and him?

A Matter Of Time
That jay was so busy chasing others
away he did
not find time
to eat.
Some
might
see a
lesson here
unless they are
so busy they can’t find the time to look.

Birthday Bash
“How am I magnificent?” I asked and
then began to
name the ways.
Grandkids
sighed
and
rolled their
eyes. “What?” I
asked. “Shouldn’t we
love ourselves?” “Yes,” they said, “but not so much.”

Poetry Of A’s
Angry adolescents of any age
adamantly
argue that
they are
right
and
you are
wrong although
any adult
will assess their argument as addled.
