2020 a clear vision
perhaps to make
the right decisions.
2020 a place to see
perhaps the goodness
in humanity
2020 a time to reflect
that the best has not
happened yet.
2020 clarity
love, peace for all
and harmony.

unbowed
unbowed by winter's cold
the inevitable of growing old.
as we complain of aches pains
and all the rest.
to be here to experience all this...
we are blessed.

if i could
if i could have
do not know
if i would have.
mindset in descent
while the rest
in ascent.
or perhaps in reverse
not meaning to be
terse.
in this bundle of noise
still one of the boys.

would it
would it be too much to ask
or perhaps a far too Brobdingnagian
task
to make 2020 a years of total kindness
and put all the years past of
cruelty behind us?

mr and mrs biggy
the biggys begin this brand new day
in their biggy usual way
sitting
warming up their bones
then off to make this
day their own!
dreamz
once upon a peaceful night
a dream
was finally achieved
kindness ruled where cruelty
once reigned
and in compassion all
believed.
the animals in their own way
gleefully rejoiced
at last the world
had heard their
voice.

once upon a butterfly and the moon
once there was a butterfly
who wanted to see how
high she could fly.
up into the air
approaching space
as the people below
looked up,
awe etched on each face.
the whole world watched
and waited with glee
as the butterfly flew
so joyfully
higher and higher
the winged one did
soar,
as those on earth
could not see her anymore
they asked their friends and
neighbors, their families
could she be gone forever
no this cannot be.
the earth herself sighed
a breath so sweet
as all her children
gathered round her feet.
no guns, no fighting,
no partisan citizenry
only people united
in the butterfly's reverie.
and as she returned
from the moons welcoming
face,
the world of people
rejoiced
one loving place.

train station eagles
we sit here watching you,
what a hoot.
dashing dans and danielles
on your daily commutes.
as your lives revolve around
the clock
we sit here plotting our own
little alfred hitchcock
the little girl dreamed
the little girl dreamed
of a string of pearls
whose love embrace
went all around
the world.
she closed her eyes and
felt that magic touch
of love we all need
so very much.

even senior citizens cry
even senior citizens cry
not just because they
are afraid to die.
they cry because they
want to live,
love and be loved
find ways to forgive.
find a path forward
to inner and outer health
seniors struggle, too
with sense of
self.

our blessings counted
as tensions mounted
our blessing counted
it is not what we lost
or how much the cost
if is what we found
when we looked around.
holidays can be quite trying and arduous, but they don't have to be. try not to dwell on that which cannot be altered or brought back. focus instead on that which can be created, enhanced or simply appreciated.

when i need the sun
when i need the sun
when it is dark inside
the sadness comes
no place to hide
i look to what
our earth has given
and by those gifts
and beauty,
healing is driven.

if ever
if ever i falter
if ever i cry
if ever if ever
i decide not to try
if ever if ever
i turn slowly away
your love brings
me back.
each and every
day.

when
when it is time
and that time is soon
to fledge and find
a special room
to raise a family
of my own.
how quickly it seems
that i have grown.
