Mornings can be liberating especially if you’ve had a lousy dream! ~~~~~~~
Free Emerging from night’s gloomy thoughts m y mind wanders into the morn In marvel and light, a singing thrush I behold never failing to cheer my soul Songs rise in my heart with joyous trill Determined to fill me and fill the world As if born here in this primal solitude with crown and scepter I...

It’s amazing how ultimately we all find our courage! ~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Sandbox Propped up and prepared or so she thinks Two feet firmly planted on shifting ground Playful in the playground Somersaulting through care-free moments Thinking the swing’s ropes are my guardrails and the small wooden seat a peaceful pew When all the while the lavender of my living lies not in...

Friday is “date night” in this home and so… a lover’s poem today.
“The Opera Singer” ~ Julio de Diego Songster Bashful singer of tender ballads I hear your call I understand each note Sea-winds blow from east and west and with these the breath of compassionate concerto Within these breezes your perfume adrift In flood of yellows and gold the sinking sun narrows...

Do you listen – I mean truly listen – when someone talks to you?
Messengers Parceling out words in a deliberate monotone with, of course, a penetrating smile ~ seemingly guarded yet impossible to wipe away ~ Parsimonious as if each were a gem not to be squandered Apologetic in our dismissal of these nuggets of wisdom; this amalgam of private thoughts and...

We're a curious bunch and off we go without so much as a flashlight.
Geometrics Weaving through the sacred geometry of the unknown we ignite and our hungry hearts burn with fascination We sense a reawakening of high frequency awareness We smell the freshness of the morning dew-stained air We taste the sweetness of personal victories We hear the wind swept psalms of...

There’s varying ideas amongst Blogiteers about what happens when we die but

Oh, some of the dumb things we say. Words - they can wound or heal.
Pebbles The stones I throw are merely pebbles often missing mark Frequently not even thrown but rather tossed into the air for consideration not dodge nor volley The quips I spew are neither bite nor bow They are but only wounded words Fallen Falling Felled

What do you see when you look past the obvious? ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Beyond With eyes of a tight-rope walker I scan the room And although I feel secure in my stride, I look only forward beyond the lived-in slippers the locked-in chin up appearance that you prefer to portray I ignore the heaped up ashtray the 5:00 shadow the rumpled shirt which has seen better days I...
