What is this restlessness that disturbs my sleep?An inner tide tugging in all directions.I open my eyes to a light filled room, though it is not yet morning.I rise from my bed and peek through the slats of the blinds.My breath catches in my throat, as I behold a most spectacular sight;A full moon winkingContinue reading “Full Moon”

The Marsh
Moments may be harsh;Though there is nothing but joy;Gazing at the marsh.
Help
How can I help you?Cope with the pain;Deal with the grief;Live with the loss.How can I help you?Seek out alternatives;Find some joy:Wear a smile.How can I help them?Put food on the table;Have cash in their pockets;Find shelter and security.How can I help us?Change the trajectory;Emanate kindness;Protect our environment.How can I help?Now that I’m weary;Defeated andContinue reading “Help”
Meet The Owl
When you think of an owl, what do you see? A large bird with big eyes, perched in a tree? But do you know that all owls are not the same size, And the places they live may be quite the surprise. A burrowing owl that lives underground; A hole in a cactus may anContinue reading “Meet The Owl”
Riddles In The Clouds
The clearest blue sky;Radiates lucidity.Riddles hide in clouds.

In The Shower
This is my happy place.Feel the warm water cascading around me,As my mind takes me to magical places;Planning for the future;The creative juices flowing.I must turn the water off,But it feels so good in here,So relaxing, so peaceful.Okay, off the water goes,As I grab for my fluffy towel.Wait, did I wash?
Bug Off
Don’t bug me today;I am sick and insect-ious;Pest me tomorrow.
A Waterfall
There are those that rain like a gentle shower;Tickling the rocks that sleep below.And those that spew with force unbridled;Constructing chasms that cannot be crossed.But no matter what the size or strength,Each distinctive beauty is undeniable;Relished in awe by the passerby.
Day and Night
The morning dawns a bright new day;Full of energy, light and play;Optimistic points of view;A future well looked forward to.As the day winds to a close;The light begins to decompose;And darkness starts to settle in;Doubt and fear creep under the skin.A fretful night of doom and gloom;Until eyes open to a light filled room;And aContinue reading “Day and Night”
