Reflection

Ev’ry morning, just past six,
And ev’ry afternoon,
Grandpa left the house to milk
The cow who leaped the moon.

Right beside the barn door he
Would stop and tip the pail,
Mealtime for the cat who played
The fiddle with her tail.

Tippy gazed with soulful eyes,
As farm dogs often will.
Her dinner dish replenished,
Pa’s load now lighter still.

Passing Grandma on the porch
The bucket caught her eye.
She queried, with a knowing grin,
“What happened…cow go dry?”

Birds of a Feather

“War is Hell”, it once was said,
Its ravages will sicken.
Doves, to some, are signs of peace;
To some, they taste like chicken.

Soul Music

The ease with which we catch a cold,
Or hold, or up, or ball;
A numbers game in nature that,
Bar none, affects us all.

Gravity and friction
Games that everyone can play.
No need for predilection,
Don’t let rules get in the way.

Sit back and close your eyes
As Mama Nature calls the roll,
And contemplate the searing
Mathematics of the Soul.

Captivity

Bind my feet and tie my hands
In tiny little knots.
Seal my body to the earth,
But don’t constrain my thoughts.
