Palette

Awake to see
Arise to change;
Awareness comes


Pathway winding
Ups and downs declare;
Possibilities


Dream a dream
Focus and see;
Moments of magic


Sunlight spreads
A moving palette;
Magnificent colours


Morning exercise
In rain and shine;
Tai Chi artistry


Pizza delivery
Dominos attends;
Party of four here


Arc of movement
Subtle kaleidoscope;
Happy flinging joy


Early rising moots
Drowsy awareness;
Sleepy connections


Birdsong prayer
For good feasting;
Three chicks to feed


Morning repast
Instant milk with coffee;
Food supplements extra


Just the other day
Old friend died;
Kind chat from beyond


As youth surrenders
Old age brings insights:
Wise old bones aching


With passing years
I learn to discern:
Talk without words


Simple economy
Spend when necessary;
Purge all vanity


A touching moment
Hero's journey ends;
Inevitable death descends


Time for goodbye
Fare you well my friend;
Let all things go


Birth's crying arrival
Lifelong struggle;
Exit with crying departure


God has a great sense
Of humour -- you see
He made man


Little by little
Becomes a plot;
Empty seems a lot
