How deep is the mud?…..
Major Rewrite
Pen at the ready,
I righted myself after
a hesitant start.
I didn’t close heart’s door or
turn away. I let
whatever came have its say
and writing rewrote me.

Morning Whisperings
The clouds above
whispered to the fields below.
Witnesses to their silent conversation
wonder what was said
that made them both turn slightly purple.

Off And On Today
Confronted by the rain,
I was given a chance
to practice peaceful nonresistance.

Sound Economics
May we not let our
differences bankrupt us. Let’s
capitalize on
our ability to work
with and through them to grow more rich.

Unnecessary Improvement
The early morning
was fine just the way it was,
but both fog and frost
decided it really had

Caution: Unasked Questions Ahead
When to do and when
to be, what to do and what

and how to be leave unasked

An Invitation
A welcome mat
of purple flowers invites
us to stop by even
if we think we don’t have time.
Neither they nor we will last forever.

The Big Reveal
Some books raise us up,
others let us down.
Some are fast reads,
some are slow,
but if you really want to know,
take some time, settle in,
and let the book itself reveal
what lies beneath its cover.

A Toast To My Village
Even before the gathering
they handed me a cup of
self-replenishing joy.
From this communal cup
I daily drink.
