hip hip hoor-age

when i look back from my age of 60+ or so,
i think about how the days and time
went slow,
and yet, in the larger pic, they went
too fast.
enjoy each moment, as they do
not last.

from the earth

from the earth,
a tree is born,
once a tiny seed,
a small acorn,
a drifting flower
that came to rest.
when it comes to
building,
mother nature is
the best

do you "see"what you see

do you "see" what you see,
or do you follow the
party line,
are your opinions your
own,
or from someone else's
mind?

my name is mali

my name is mali,
i live alone,
in this zoo.
this is not what
elephants are
supposed to do.
i have lived here
35+ years,
my only company...
a pool of tears.

wrap me in springtime

wrap me in springtime,
turn what is old into
something new,
wipe away the cobwebs

,
what i alone,
cannot undo.
answer my sorrows,
with summer promises
you cannot keep.
warm transient tomorrows,
where at last i might find
sleep.

petals and cacaphony

petals and cacaphony,
her mind,

in a daze.
chasing each other,
her equilibrium,
hazed.
sleeptime eludes her,
befuddled by the din.
the colors, soft and
muddled.
will not let rest,
in.

flowerpots in the window

flowerpots in windows,
trees embracing
the brick,
verdure sent to
heal
the cold and the
sick
lanterns sure to
flicker,
streets illuminated
sweet, soft light,

shadows
overtaken,
a gentle transition
into night.
