a place where words

are cushioned as
they fall.

even when the road behind
is far longer than the road ahead,
you keep driving.
looking back only to
keep on course.
while you keep
on living.

we are spring snowflakes

in summer we slowly fall to
the ground that grew us.
but now we dance,
loveliness
in tune with the sun.

in her heart a little garden
sweet fragrant flower
swaying grasses...
all the colors that quenched

too many of us have so
many of these.

the voice of god is heard
in every being’s heartbeat.
god sees through all
eyes.
all eyes and voices
are god’s children
and when are all
given compassion
god smiles and rejoices.

never ask a flower

what to say.

they are too busy
learning how

their name or address.
they are who and where
they are,
which is the best,
i guess.

garage eagle dreams
waiting...
on the fragile
vessels that hold
our babies.
the time passes.
i hope that life
for them, here
in our concrete
aerie,
will be sweet.
and longer than
the lives
of some
of my flock
who were mowed down
by big. fast moving
metal fume machines.
we will care for these
precious gifts
until it is their time
to care for their own.
and we hope...
and in our pigeon way,
we pray.
love
hate smolders, festers and rots from inside out.
love warms, touches, soothes, heals and nurtures.
the power of hate is an ugly self delusion that feeds on and
engulfs itself, leaving ash and sorrows in its wake.
love brings more love so the power of love is limitless.

giffed
to be able to love with all one's heart is the greatest gift that one can ever give, or receive.
memorial day
On memorial day we honor those who have served
The army, air force, marines, the navy , the reserves
We honor those who fought so that we could be free
To enjoy our careers, our friends, our families
We honor those who made the ultimate sacrifice
So we would not pay the worst possible price
To be enslaved, our freedoms torn
Into a lifeless world our children would be born.
This is not about being in favor of war
We all hate the bloodshed, the pain, the gore
This is about people who did what had to be done
Here is hoping that one day,
Wars will be none.
and this includes our four legged friends,
of loyalty, love and valor
even after the end♥

sometimes looking for food
or for frolic and play
the water is so dark now
i cannot see a thing
i am so hungry
i cannot move my wings
what happened to
my homeland
where i live and breed
what will happen to
the fish
upon whom i feed
i am feeling so tired
i cannot lift my head
in this muck and this mire
i do not want to be dead.

she dreams of purple pompoms
flowers, greens and trees.
when she awakens, she
dreams of more of these.
they sustain her as she
navigates her day.
with vibrant colors
and a state of play.

where beneath
where beneath the convolution
contortions,
confusions...
exists perhaps a most
simple truth.
or was it absorbed
in the cacaphony.

i am a pigeon.
a bird.
not vermin not filth
yet i have heard
that some humans
think that we are
pests...
we just want to live our lives,
have our families and nests.
so next time ye of the species
that is so overpopulated...
remember that it is some of you
humans
that are overrated.

our routines in place
we do what we do

a life we can change

so worth the schlepp

love and light
peace-filled days
and blissful nights.

phased
we start empty and small
unknowing
we grow a bit.
unknowing a little less
our notions flower.
our knowledge
nourishes us
when
we realize the more
we think we know,
the more we
do not.
and that, in itself,
is freedom.
