Upon Further Reflection

I forget that going with the flow means

always changing

positions.

Going

with

the

flow sounds

so relaxed,

so gentle, so

effortless. Changing positions? Uh…no.

Why Sit?

In these impatient times,

when we demand answers

to questions not yet formed,

why take a minute

to sit with uncertainty,

to sit with a source unfathomable,

where time has no measure

and space is limitless?

The Deck’s Stacked

Saturday at last

and a sunny one at that –

After last night’s rain

it’s cooler too.  No matter

how hard I try, I can’t be blue.

Warm Welcome

In the summer heat

black-eyed susans greet the rain

with shining smiles.

Bachelor Party

 

 

 

 

Those bachelor buttons

aren’t buttoned up as they sway

in the summer sun.

A Moving Reminder

They’re right when they say,

“No matter where you go, there

you are.” When I moved

my office, sure enough, there

I was, neurotic

as ever, well, maybe not

as ever, but with

work still to do – reminding

me to practice what I preach.

Defying Suggestion

The name suggests

a wizened old lady,

but Crepe Myrtle

brazenly blooms

in the summer heat.

Plaintive Question

Why

does

the

light

at

the

end

of 

the

tunnel

have

to

be

so

far

away?
