(2014)
After hearing a favorite song and remembering a difficult time, a poem came out
The hummingbirds are buzzing As well as the bees. The Orioles land gingerly On top of the feeder. Cautiously they move down
What inspires me... Hummingbirds buzzing as they land, on nearby flowers. Their amazing wings
Last night I dreamt that I floated above the clouds, above the earth and my heart
Walking on the beach of long ago, the constant roll of the gulf, it’s sound, like a lullaby.
Pretend there is no tomorrow becau… there might not be. Live like there is only this momen… that is the truth. Nothing is solid but whispery,
Grateful for: Sunrise of pink and gold Showing the way, Lighting the sky, To another blessed day.
Walking down the dirt path, Sounds drift on the air, Birds chirping, leaves Rustling, dogs barking. Interconnection of life
Holiday cheer and laughter, Multicolored lights blink faster, Music of love and good will, Grace the air like snowflakes. Tis the season to be compassionate…
In the dead Of Winter, I long for Spring. In the rains Of Spring,
Itchy eyes scaly feet achy joints and bad teeth hair so fine
Firefly shine your light, Brighten my life, Lead the way, through The meadows, in my mind. Firefly, float so high,
Pink hues from the west Filter through Snow covered boughs Leaving, The evening light
Birds flying here and there, landing on branches to chirp and bare, their heart. A private club among the trees with their own private code.
Not a word heard As the river flows Over rock, around Banks that lie Waiting for visitors.
Orange full moon with a half smile, a hanging lantern, lighting the way, through dark streets,
