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.
Web
Only a thin filament holds us together;Yet its durability is evident;It stretches to unimaginable lengths;Spanning continents, time and space.It divides in all directions;Binding all living beings;Providing strength and protection.At times the filament breaks;Leaving some dangling.Sometimes the filament winds itself round and round, Smothering those it can no longer support.There is no escaping it;As without itContinue reading “Web”
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”
Under The Pier
I see you playing on the beach;Your beautiful wife and children in reach.Laughing and joking with passerbys;Who don’t dare look me in the eye;As I sit here under the pier.You leave the beach with sundrenched skin;Only to return again;Much later for a drink upstairs;A lady friend meets you there. All of this I see andContinue reading “Under The Pier”
Rubble
You call it rubble;A heap of rocks.I see a treasure trove.Pick up a rock.Can you feel the energy?Millions of years in the palm of your hand.Look at the colors, the patterns;There is a golden shimmer in this one;A crystal clarity in that one.Each calls to me;Wanting to tell its story.
