and this small dandelion

There is an emptiness in this space
That feels strange, unfamiliar.
The strangeness –
Nothing pushing me forward
Nothing pulling me back
No ” I used to be..” / no former identity
No call to be anything else.
I stand ‘here’ – child-like –
In a kind of wonder-land
Taking it in, the freshness of it.
Curious.
What is here?
What is ‘here’ like?
Where is the ground here?
How am I with ‘here’?
What is not here?
PS: I wonder if I’ll ever know.
It comes and goes..
This strangeness.

Even Nature
can only take so much
before exploding
toward the end
of these snow burdened days.

I don’t want to squander
a minute of the time
I have left.
I want to
watch the sun rise and set,
listen to bird song,
pet my dog,
sip my wine,
laugh with grandkids.
I don’t want habit or worry
to rob me
of these “unproductive” moments.

Kunal Thakore’s commentary helped me see what I didn’t see before but what was there all along.
random rants ruminations ramblings
In his portly, paunchy stature, I see acceptance of the God-given
and a disregard for shape

Why feast on nectar
when there’s plenty of dog poop
along the roadside?

Reaching for the moon,
she touched,
not the moon,
but her visionary self.

Every evening
they go for a leisurely stroll,
that doe and fawn.
Like us, they have their daily rituals.

I told Knox I was
too tired to play, but he had
other ideas.
“You throw. I’ll fetch and soon you’ll
see how happy we’ll both be.”
