the distance between
knowing and the
vast unknown
can never be truly
traversed
but a bridge built
with

hunger for knowledge
an open mind
and
kindness can
make for a better
journey.

i never found a gentler space.
i never found a happier place.
i never saw so sweet a face.

every day is world rhino day

We are rhinos and we love to graze
Undisturbed
In the sun, we laze
but poachers will not
leave us alone
if you want a horn
grow a one of your own!!!

as the lights go out

she holds her head up
as the lights go out.
her love of life still
gleaming.
she fades so ever quietly
as others mill around her.
she holds on for those
whose life she fills.
she sees them growing
sadder
she breathes a little
harder,
does not want them
to see but what she was,
as what she is draws
closer

terrabites

i live in my own world...
the food is better,
the people are nicer.
and ALL the animals
are safe and happy.

she sits

she sits in quiet
while her mind
rolls out the reels
of a life lived without
apologies.
some wounds that
never heal.
what she expected of others,
dueling with her own
self respect.
plowing forward without
looking sideways,
a gaze too goal focused and
direct.
in her fears of the tomorrow
that will come too fast.
a life filled with hidden regrets.
no longer buried in the past.

the pain

the pain of an open heart
is worth the joys that only
an open heart can
feel.

so soft they seem.

not so.

taste of
knowledge.
when all we learn is
what we have
lost.

the inner rumblings

the inner rumblings
and the din of
disquiet.
no way to sit still
from the inside,
outward.

how will you fill my flower cup

will you fill my flower cup
with smiles and cheer.
will you fill it with love.
be you far or near.
will you keep on filling
as my petals fall.
i ask as i marvel
at the magic of
it all.

while walking

they watch but they do not wait

they watch but they do not wait.

they cry but do not deny.

they live in what they can do

not their limitations

as they run out of their given

lifespan rations.

floral smile...
lives a lifetime
stretched for

how many

how many moments of silence
will it take,
before a world of peace,
we make.

change can

change can come when
open minds, driven
by the kindness of hearts,
cause a contagion of
gentle compassion.
even reaching those
once mired in the
wrongs of
what was.

the little girl prayed

the little girl bowed her head and prayed.
that all the cruelties would go away.
she hugged her toys close to her
as she cried silent tears,
and hoped so hard that the
rest of the world
would hear.

with softness so sweet

i took a walk

i took a walk into
the periphery...
and this i saw.
because i looked.

on the way home

your velvet embrace

safe in the soft,
gentle warmth
of your velvet
embrace,
with love
and contentment,
i burrow
my face,

on the way to and fro

a field

a field, adrift
in life's great
fabric.

joan...for joan rivers

you made us laugh at
ourselves and at you.
this something you taught
us all to do.
to take life as it is,
with a twisty smirk.
no matter how life
could do its dirty work.
we saw the loving heart
that you tried to hide.
in spite of your sometimes
acerbic wit,
we all saw inside.
and now the world
is a less funny and more
unhappy

space...
nobody will ever
take your place.

to love

to love.
to experience the
spectrum of emotions
that love brings,
brings us closer to
the divine center
of our better
selves.

namaste,

peace-filled days
and blissful
