a fighting dog's tale
i am a dog,
and you want me
to fight,
i do not like it,
how can you
think it is right.
i hurt or am hurting
this is how i spend
my day.
when all i want to
do is love you,
how did my life
end up this way?

the worlds of pteri bird
i am a pionus parrot,
life is good.
my people treat me
exactly as they should.
they love me, play with
me, feed me well.
i am one happy baby,
as you can tell.
yet in my heart
there is another place.
a lush, warm garden,
a jungle space.
but my parents were
born here,
my grandparents, too.
this is my life,
this what i do.
no predators to chase me
i am almost never
caged in.
though not in freedom,
i wear a big parrot grin

here is
here is to the different,
the ones who will not dance,
the ones who express just how they feel,
whenever they get the chance.
the ones who care about your feelings,
but care about integrity more,
the ones, who when the world needs healing,
are the first to open the door☺♥☻

A lone
Loneliness trails me
Every step of the way.
This is the only "friend"
I can count on to stay.
I sure wish this "friend"
Would go away!
in the morning
in the morning, when i rise,
i look into your eyes.
in the evening, before
i go to bed,
you look into mine,
instead
you are the spirit of
us all.
so blessed to feel
"your call"

we are a union
we are a union of many beings. like most unions, harmony, not discord, fosters strength. we work in sync, behind the scenes, wrapped up in our daily lives, busy and unaware.
and yet, we sense the power of the higher order.
there is a structure here, a foundation based upon interdependency and trust, expressed in mutual respect and gratitude, for the balance that has been given to us, and the understanding that it is our responsibility to maintain it.☺♥☻.

butterflowers fly
what is a butterfly,
a winged being.
what are you seeing,
if in the light, another
image
enters your sight
a winged being.

if love
if love, in torrents,
began to pour,
would that mean
an end, to war.
would suffering
and cruelty,
go away.
we sit, in silence
waiting for
that day♥

where, there
where there is a heart, there is love, and where there is love, there are miracles♥.
where love is found
where hate disappears
where kindness touches
everything,
far and near☺♥☻

it is not what
it is not
what the eyes can
see,
it is what the
heart can feel,
that inner sense,
that lets you know
what is real

it was late at night
it was late at night
i could not sleep.
the world around,
in trouble deep.
afraid to doze,
to wake up
to the same.
the river flows,
in heaven's
name♥

what
what kind of a world, to our children, do we leave? one we have cast aside, or one in which they can believe. ♥♥♥
beauty is
beauty is as one perceives it.
if you see it in yourself
others will believe it
do not refer to me
as a woman of a certain age
i am just a woman
who will not be
chronologically caged
WE CAN DO THIS!!!!
