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.

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

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 inner rumblings

no way to sit still

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.

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.

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.

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.
ourselves and at you.

to experience the

selves.

do you follow the

or cling on to
that which
fear and insecurity
have sold.
