They’ll Come

Waiting on feelings
Stirring just beneath my breath
Curiously calm.

Thanks, Nicole

Getting a massage
Followed by acupuncture…
Great way to wake up.

A Wish

Oh, to be complete
Like an egg, a raspberry
They need nothing else.

Autumn Promise

With a frosty dawn
And two sturdy walking sticks
Wonder, what I’ll see…

Simple Gift

Someone smiled at me
I don’t take that for granted
She didn’t have to.

Oh…There You Are

There, in the silence
A tender heart beats strong, true
Listen…it’s your own.

Beckoned

The sky stole my heart
Gathered me into its stars
Irresistibly.

Now

All of those dreams, plans
What are you waiting for, friend?
There is no “later”.

Claim It

We are all artists
Architects of great beauty
Just look at your life…

Cold Remedy

Nothing chases chill
Quite like a pair of warm socks
Straight from the dryer.

Aware

Patience teaches us
We’re not the only ones here
Many souls, one earth.

Count On It

A strong loving heart
Held up to the day’s indifference
Melts the thickest ice.

Finally

When the ache I feel
Bears someone else’s name, face
I’ve learned empathy.

Go With the Flow

When changing winds blow
Let them sweep through you, fear not
You will still be you.

Luxury

Something I don’t do
Sleep in, no reason to rise
I’d like more of that.

Between Night and Day

The moon a gold coin
Slipping into the west’s purse
She just bought my soul.

Works Every Time

When troubles pile up
The morning walk sorts it out
Feet, don’t fail me now…

Insomnia

Up at 3, can’t sleep
Staring contest with the moon
(The moon always wins).

In Process

Dough in front of me
Rising, working to become
Just like each of us.

Downsizing

So much I don’t need
Creeps through the doors of each room
Not sure who owns whom…
