to dream is....

to dream is to acknowledge the possibility of the impossible ♥

in the vast expanse
of circumstance
how much is by design
how much by chance

as the petals of the day

as the petals of the day
begin to close
all the little creatures
prepare to doze
snuggled closely
... for warmth and
for love
embraced by the moon
as she smiles, from above♥ KLK

the orange and the grey

You are orange

I am gray

we play together

every day

our styles may differ

you like to climb

i like the water

most of the time

we share bananas

you pull my ears

I lower my trunk

So you can hug

Without fear

The time we spend is

in friendship and glee

as we both see it

we are family

hint of a kiss

The hint of a kiss

What did they miss

Would their love grow

They did not know

in the moment of

the soft hammer of caring
as it touches my cheek
in its moment of daring,
leaves me blissfully
weak ♥

four sooth

that truth is a theory
not absolute
a thought rather dreary
but also a hoot
if you say go one way
... and i then decline
who has the runway
is it yours or
is it mine

in the

in the larger scheme
whatever that be
or the smaller
picture
of society
... we have one life
and when we are gone
the world is still there
and going on

we understand

we are friends
and without a word
your deepest feelings
are so loudly heard
♥

new painting begins

starting something new
once you get going
each brush stroke
rings true
and the ideas

keep on growing
so follow the
colors as they
dance before
your eyes
nothing can be finished
if a beginning
you do not try

look

at times the hurt can be so blinding
you don't know where to turn
so here is some reminding
look toward those who
you think might not care
... you would be surprised
because they will
be there♥

in vino very demi tasse

what rings true
to me, or you
some say it is red
while other say
blue
... the truth can be
tainted by
pains from the past
and reality painted
but this never lasts 

first acrylic, cropped

to try something new
to make a change
a little of your soul
gets rearranged
at first there is fear
then perhaps
fear some more
then you put out
your foot
and kick down that
door
change is good
even those
smile lines
on your face
because as long
as you can feel it

you are still in the race

the miracle of sun and clouds

the miracle of sun and clouds
speaks in the greatest of volume,
but never out loud

little treasure in the tree

little treasure in a tree
i see you, do you see me
as you sit so calmly
on your perch
and we below
run circles
on this earth
what do you think
of our frenetic pace
oh flower in the tree
of poetic grace♥

pleas

a simple prayer for the human race
it is time to put on a gentle face
take a look around
what are you seeing
a merry go round of
astounding beings
where none are greater
and none are less
they are all a
gift
from the one
we bless

shelter us

we do not have a home
would you make us
your very own♥

owls landing

The wisdom of owls
As they quietly perch
Look into ourselves,
Before another we
Besmirch

underneath the curtain of night
the moon roles in,
as the sun is in flight ♥ KLK

four friends, forever

we are as different as can be
but we love each others
company

i am looking in
you are looking out
can we be friends
and romp about♥

street seen

magic abounds,
it is all around ♥

we are

we are but a dot
a blip in space
a twinkle in the eye
of the creator's
beaming face ♥

thank you

You  cared for me

You fought for me

Now all is not

For naught,

For me.

Love, annie

k 9/11 hearts

They stand by their person

Tall and proud

Waiting for each command

By hand signal or aloud

Their paws are so tired

They are cut until raw

But they keep on going

Keep looking for more

Into the rubble into the fray

Not fearing trouble

Will  someone be saved today.

Eyes tearing from smoke

They plow straight ahead

As they cough and they choke

Perhaps wishing for bed

Tirelessly devoted  doing their best

At the end of the long day

Head on their person’s chest

Knowing tomorrow

Will be more of this sorrow

In vino

The ever growing disparity between happiness and clarity

beginnings

inside your heart
is a little spirit.
close your eyes,
open your mind,
and you can hear it.
... the gentle tones,
harmoniously
sung,
the road to compassion
has begun. ♥ KLK

my dream

A planet of colors
Magical sights
Warm, toasty mornings
Soft, sensual nights

is there

is there a safe place
to rest my head
to gently shut my eyes
and drift off, to bed
is there a refuge
... for my soul, so lost
from all the turmoil
inside it, tossed

the lake of the forest

The lake of the forest

Ran smooth and wild

It lived in reckless abandon

Like a child

puppies, milled

We live here in a puppy mill

It is winter now, and we are

So chilled

When summer comes the

Heat is very strong

Our fur gets matted,

It gets too long

We cannot breathe

We cannot see

we can only feel

our  misery

please rescue us

please get us out

we are not human

so we cannot shout
