Grace
Grace (18-030Z)
Rushing around
Living for tomorrow
Missing the moment
Trying to cover the past
Dead things
Keep surfacing
Not quite dead
Marionette strings attached
Waltzes back
Into life
Ghost of past
Begging for rest
Dwelling in future
Avoiding the present
Pain shoves forward
Blinds to today
Rest is found
Embracing the day
Good and bad
Enough grace to stay

Doggies
Doggies (18-029Z)
A quarter mile away
Herd sees me open the gate
They want to come and play
Get there just a moment late
Funny things can bring a smile
Stop and enjoy the surreal
Consider the moment for a while
Be open to what's revealed

Otherly
Otherly (18-028Z)
Fresh snows
Lay upon
Fir's boughs
Roar of the fall
Layers of ice
Creation's sculptures
A "Narnia" moment
Just missing Tumnus
And a lamppost

Shame
Shame (18-023Z)
Shame hangs thick
Coat of frost on the mind
Pollutes love's flow
Stains the heart
Harsh inner thoughts
Voice deepest fears
Stirring vortex of emotions
Anxiety of past replayed

Ink (18-019Y)
Ink (18-019Y)
Blank pages stare back at me
Verses yet to be written
Wait until smitten
Stories undefined flee
Silence is the soil
Paitence as words grow
Soon they spill out
Ink begins to flow

Yielding
As I open the door morning's
Soft pink sky greets me
Tender pinks and reds soon
Give way to light yellow and grays
The liminal moment
Of dawn recedes
Brilliance now masked
Heart reluctantly concedes
Beauty hard to see in routine
Eyes dulled in life's fray
Longings now clandestine
It's covered with the day

Window glazed white
In morning darkness
Patterns snowflake like
Simplicity's starkness
Engulfed in frozen
Moments cold
Want chosen
Beauty behold

sugars brown and white
butter and olive oil

wonderful tastes
warm from the oven

Light
Joy
pull you close
lead with right foot
step and pivot
lean in
joy to be close
learn and explore
learn new steps
enjoy the moment
eyes glitter
as we practice
feet and arms tangle
until move together
no music yet
just learning steps
something together
we enjoy

Another day

wonder
