How quickly days pass
Wasn’t I just five last week?
Now my hair is gray.
What would you do, friend
Run, Dance madly, Sit in peace
If you had more time?
Lingering lightning
Remnant of this morning’s storm
Bookending my day.
Swirling clouds above
I drive through walls of water
Please…carry me home.
The heart’s a muscle
Needing daily exercise
Go love somebody.
Humidity reigns
Droplets cling to everything
So good for the skin.
Rocks can sing—listen
Forget everything you know
Let them fill your head.
I change every day
Mostly small ways, some bigger
Calling it progress.
Robin-song, clear, bright
Ringing through the almost-night
Soothe my weary soul.
In a dark woods’ heart
A spot of perfect stillness
Shhh…do not disturb.
Tell me a story
Places you’ve been, things you’ve learned
I won’t interrupt.
Awake at 3 a.m.
Solving the world’s problems.
One. By one. By one.
A mug of hot tea
Brushes away the chill air
It’s only August.
I took today off
Breakfast, a grateful heart and
Possibilities…
Broken things find her
She draws them into her heart
Gives them what they need.
A happy mem’ry
Leaves its footprints on the heart
A well-traveled path.
Stillness on the land
Tempting to sink in…and stay
But I’d miss Patrick.
