Slip ‘N’ Slide

About the other day,
I know now that it’s gone

There was then
the slightest possibility

But you, of course
after all, were right

They come and they go
today more than ever

Despite
tenacious grip

I Am So Sorry, What?

But oh, my God, yes –
of course there should be wonder!

And that
is that.

Yoga

I shake baby bees
Heavy laden with pollen
From the pistils
Of flowers I’ve picked
Brought inside
While she assumes
Infinite pose
On the warm, wood slats

Friendly Reminder

The mind should gasp
not just gently yawn;
amazing sheer delight
of life

Goodnight dear
gentle people
the world over
is only just
beginning

A Note To Remember Us By

chagall backdrop

Do you hear the rumble,
do you feel the shake
within?

Seems to pop
in this strangest place

All ways
always
are before you

And after all
is said and done
it’s sad to think
there’s only one

In memoriam

For Millie

And in the end
she said you’re my favorite people

You kept things bright when lights were low
you were always there to let me know

Those hard times shared by all
are not so hard at all

O’ what a life!

I remember dancing with you all
a slow dance, a quick step

Strange I never heard
the music change

O’ what a life
isn’t it a crazy life

When everything you know
is still here when you go

Regrets, Angelica

She asked if the leaves would turn green again
I told her as far as I knew

Though this time was more than mere seasons change
I would rather she did not know
