life...a new

life, a new
the quiet,
profound miracle
that brings us here
takes us away.
and carries on♥

birds, bees, bugs, bats and butterflys

how i love those
on the wing.
music in flight
magical
things.
rumors of fancy,
imaginations
that soar.
thoughts that wonder
and ponder...
searching for more.

if life

if life were a piece of cake
a slice of humble pie
a series of steps
that seem to fly
by.
a montage of moments
old and new
seen clearly or clouded.
as they fade from view.
a collection of sometimes
someones who.
if by love we reasoned.
so much more
to do.

at times

at times so tired.
so overwhelmed.
it seems like
confusion is
at the helm.
when we think
that life has given
us short shrift,
but  we are
still in it...
the ultimate
gift.

pile

he sat in a pile
of his own
regrets.
hoarded and
not forgotten,
yet.
the question
he asked
still remains,
in spite of what
he knows,
why does he
do things
the
same.

grows

where kindness dwells
and compassion
is heard.
and so it grows
without a
single
word.
