Each day walking
mindful of my gifts
the love that is shared
given to me
freely, unearned
in my path, this life
Needing to be humble
grateful, joyful
walking in gratitude
......
From having my highest high, to my lowest low..
The last one year had way too much to show.
It has been a mix of hearty laughs, smiles and tears..
Life's reality check has made me grow years.
In goodness and humanity I believe..
But still fear from taking a breath of relief.
I have always asked for things, while praying..
It is gratitude this year, and it goes without saying.
......
Where would I be without you?
Where would I be if you did not love me?
Where could I go if I do not love you?
I love poetry written to me
More love and poetry bless thee
What better way to communicate?
What better hiding place than verse?

the room was cold
and there were
gray flowers
of dampness blooming
all over the walls
He took off
his shoes and
the shoes were the
warmest things in
the room so the kitten

Thank you for the air we breathe in
So that we can filter out
Dust and dirt;
Thank you for the water we drink
So that we can water plants, trees,
Green roots and ruts.
Thank you for the food we eat
So that we live to save the canopy
Of man and mankind;
......
Walking into the garden
with my third eye open
Destined for all the dirt
that will seep in
between my toes
To watch every sunrise
and every sunset
surrounded by vivacious greenery
......
In the tapestry of time, where friendships bloom,
Mes amis, like petals, dispelling life's gloom.
Brothers, firm anchors in the sea of existence,
Une soeur agaçante, a tempest, a relentless insistence.
Parents, the roots, firmly grounding my being,
Leaves of wisdom, in the breeze, foreseeing.
Enemies, shadows that dance in the moonlit night,
Igniting the fire, propelling toward the light.
......
colored leaves fall down
inside food warmth and laughter
a pause for prayer
it's time squirrels cached walnuts
it's autumn's pretty party
Thank you for the air we breathe in
So that we can filter out
Dust and dirt;
Thank you for the water we drink
So that we can water plants, trees,
Green roots and ruts.
Thank you for the food we eat
So that we live to save the canopy
Of man and mankind;
