It seems just yesterday that tree stood bare
and now flowers
adorn her
verdant
hair.

Natural Inclinations
Another wild
roadside meeting between those
black-eyed Susans and
the blue bachelors – honestly,
you’d think they’d be more discreet.

Dancing Light
Before the moon can
even rise, the sky fills with
flirting fireflies –
flying sparks of dancing light
soften the slow creep of night.

What’s Within
A turtle doesn’t
sing a lilting song, but who knows
what goes on within that shell?

Sabbath Blessing
In this emptied moment
I am full.
No throbs or twinges,
No searing pain.
No itches to scratch,
No hunger to feed.
In this emptied moment
I am full.

Cat Calls
She is quite lovely,
our calico cat, but she
insists we look past
her surface beauty to the
master complainer within.

When
When life tosses us
a sailing frisbee of joy,
let’s catch it and pass it on.

Today I Feast
Hummingbird whirring
among indigo blossoms –
nectar for the soul.

Here and Now
Start where you are. You’ve
gotten this far by step and
misstep. Maybe you
missed the boat and took the plane –
you arrived right here
just the same. Now the only
way forward starts from this spot.

Recalibration
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.
