Multi-tasking is overrated!
Oh hummingbird Where are you now? Have you taken My courage with you? Oh hummingbird
An owl hoots on this cool, crisp Spring night. A sound that’s distant yet echos
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…
Red and gold leaves Falling, Sing to me Of the season of change, Before the snow,
What inspires me... Hummingbirds buzzing as they land, on nearby flowers. Their amazing wings
The chimes outside the pottery studio ring like a temple bell, calling the faithful to honor,
This is the America I know: A sea of white, black, red, yellow And brown faces, Strong minds and voices Raised to the sun,
Rolling painted deserts of the west. Shrub bushes dot sloping hillsides. Relentless sun heats up
When I first heard “The Blackbird,” In the middle Of night, I was just thirteen.
Not a word heard As the river flows Over rock, around Banks that lie Waiting for visitors.
My spirit communes with the four directions: To the north are in-laws, our aging mother, her last
A path with heart Is full of love Which makes us right Brings in the light And chases the dark.
It’s a billion stars moving and co… While we sleep. It’s one miracle after another and… We do not take the leap. It’s the great heave of nature
I remember your smile, your laugh,… you gave so freely. It’s hard that you are gone. I sigh and walk along the bay.
Life is like a dream A star studded sky A blink of an eye Oh, how life slips by. Life is like a song
