Think I am nothingDoes the thought make you somethingOr is thought a lie
Bucket comes up drySearching for untapped sourcesDivining my soul
Air crisp as cabbageNo fermentation for heatWinter's not kimchi
Inspiration strikesShe's not always soft & sweetRespond when she calls
InsignificantOne life can seem so tinyDoes it still matter
I feel hope springingEternal as tomorrowThere is no escape
Morning mist driftingKissing the water, it waitsClarity will come
Summer days make meIs "feel fine" what you had hopedI'll settle for warm
No warmth of summerInsulating now from thenAll bleeds together
Get back on the horseMuch easier said than doneThe horse ran away
I breathe, grace comes inMoving like wind through the treesA soft summer breeze
So young at fifteenThirty years have swallowed youthNow I'm young inside
I could play it safeBuild a wall around my heartBut walls can break too
Happy and carefreeSometimes exist togetherBut it's not required
Not always perfectBut doing is still the choiceIt lets music live
Sailors call it deadBut sometimes calm is the thingLetting life be lived
Fingernails clipped shortHarp strings await the pluckingAll we need is time
Safety, protectionConservative, risk averseIs this a lived life
Nothing came beforeThis is the only momentBreathe and take it in
Momentum has slowedMid-morning, mid-day, mid-lifeJust middling through
Orange perfectionPeel slips off effortlesslyTastefully naked
Mist shielded waterCarries workers back and forthAquatic highway
I used to awaitSomething bigger than right nowBut it's always now
Lives intertwiningPull one thread, others sufferA hole in the whole
Sunday is my dayGod does not demand a dayEvery day's God's day
Earth is tremblingShe wants to shake us off nowShe's changing her look
Sleep has crept awayI am left dazed and aloneA new day awaits
Am I the oceanOr am I a rolling waveWhole and part are one
To be understoodA need never to be metEmbrace confusion
Buttery popcornYellow blossoms in the rainI am eating spring
Suicide bomberSuffering internal painKeep it to yourself
Soft, fraying edgesComing unraveled can helpHard lines disappear
Unexpected life
Peeking out around gray walls
A city in bloom
An inspirationA destination unknownEach day is a gift
Not a soccer momAnd never a movie starBut I will be me
Triangle, three sidesTriangle, three syllablesHaiku perfection
Like puzzle piecesScattered across life's tableIt can be made whole
Mechanical birdYour silver wings unmovingSoaring in stillness
Want to burn brightly
Fanning the flames of my life
The fire consumes me
Sunshine warming meBrilliant rays touching my skinKissed by a rainbow
Put me in a boxIt is only in your headYour head can't hold me
Rabbit hole of timeI am there in an instantVisiting myself
Darkness is speakingLight silences the chatterMust we hear it out
Surface ripplingCool depths below still and darkDuckling learns to swim
Bare branches drippingBathing in the morning rainPreparing for spring
White wings beat the airFrenzy of flight on March mornThe sea summons him
Desire teaches me
Wanting it all, having some
Letting go of need
Bright green cornstalk wavesSoft breeze inside, cold wind outSeasons colliding
Do and be happyOr don't and be happy tooHappy doesn't care
Silence is my museBe still and listen, she saysSymphonies await
Boxes on boxesCages of glass and concreteReaching toward the sky
Pristeen blank pagesUnruly thoughts spill freelyChaos fills the space
Mama Earth dancingLaughing, spinning, skirt liftingWill she trip and fall
To be an old manEnjoying a cuppa joeUnfolding the news
Dangling from a threadLife precarious at bestBut windows are clean
Breath of a new dayMoving forward standing stillEach moment is here
Early spring freshnessWinter brown transforms to greenCourage is renewed
Distant rolling hillsWater of Sound between usI will float to you
Release, sweet releaseHand open, holding gentlyNothing to let go
Sharing the burdenFour shoulders better than twoSide by side we walk
Softness of age taunts
Where's the me of yesterday
She's breathing, breathing
Sweetness of my youthRecreating memoriesA poor substitute
Radiating calmCenter now circumferenceIn and out are one
The love of a dogImmeasurable comfortUndiluted joy
No need to hurryBreathe, knowing all is wellNow is the moment
Change, my quiet friend
Pointing me toward new places
You know me so well
Unexpected Sun
Warmth sweeter than July's rays
Bask in the surprise
Valentine's Day looms
Head, hips, and heart awaiting
Can love heal them all?
Midwinter graynessOozing in through broken wallsSpirits wait for sun
