Huddled together
Straight and tall
Listening intently
For instruction
From the Universe

And Now for Something Completely Different
A trip to the beach
Please, you are old enough to
Carry your own stuff
Aggressive lake gulls
Guarding their turf from others
“Crumbs are all for me”
Winter Warning
Please pardon all the flowers
That I’ve been posting lately
I just want small reminders
Once winter comes ’round again
That things were once alive
And vibrant colors still exist
Outside of blankets of white
With dirty trims of grey from
The spray of salted wheels
Outlines of dark branches whose
Leaves have long ago fallen
Swept away by wind and rakes
And loud motorized contraptions
Winter is not too far away
And I shudder at the thought
Of waking once again to the
Gentle whiteness of cold flakes
Covering–well, everything!
And blackbirds brave enough
(Or dumb enough) to stick around
Shoveling that once was fun
Becoming the bane of existence
Heavy coats and sweaters
Filling drawers and closets
To overflowing
And the greyness of skies
Lasting day after day causing
Smiles of populations
To disappear just a bit
Due to lack of warmth and
Vitamin D
So if you will please indulge me
For a while longer
As I soak in the joy and soul food of
A certain kind of deciduous nature
And share it here where I can return
To remember that nothing lasts
Forever but love
Merry Gold
Whispering Daisies
Flower Envy
Our neighbor’s have the biggest
Hibiscus blooms I’ve ever seen
Nearly larger than my hand span
Which is saying something!
Loveliness on Main Street
Can I just stare at you
For a while
At the joy you bring
So simply?
Hundreds of people
Pass by
Do they notice you
As I do?
Are you reaching out
For a kiss
From the one you love,
The sun you love?
Ready to twirl, opening
Your gorgeous attire
Bringing conscious or unconscious
Delight to diners
And shoppers on this
Bustling avenue
Do you dream while you wait
Of blooming
Or sharing grand adventures
With lovers and friends
Across oceans and lands
And meadows?
Perhaps your simple beauty requires
Simple being
Dependent on those who care
How you grow
How Red?

Beholding, Breathing, Being Love ~
What beauty is this
That captures my heart
At the first sight?
Simpleness of being–
Can it be so easy
To be filled with love?
Such joy infills me
And makes me believe–
Is it true?
Is it possible?–
That love is available
At a glance
Always present
Never depleted
My only job
Is to let it flow!
One small reminder
To breathe and be love ~
The Sunniest Side of August
What joy does August bring
With its sunny days
And lazy haze
And birds too hot to sing
The sun of August shines
Bleaching hair
Bringing fairs
And harvest of all kinds
But here’s the sunniest side of all:
When children bore of play
And you hear them say
“I can’t wait for school to start this fall!
