CHUBBY PRIDE

CHUBBY PRIDE
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
In the mirror, young Sol took a peek,
his reflection made him feel quite weak.
     With a belly so round,
     he let out a horrible sound!
“Oh dear, I’ve been too nutty this week!”

“But nuts are so tasty,” he sighed,
as he gazed at his fluffy backside.
  

SEEDS OF PERPETUITY

SEEDS OF PERPETUITY 
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Just beneath the surface of our daily lives, a deep current flows, the subtle murmur of a forgotten agreement, the shimmering echo of the original dream held within each soul. This dream is a fragile thing, flickering in and out frequently doused by the clamor of the world, immediate needs, expectations, and

LABYRINTHINE PATHS

LABYRINTHINE PATHS
“You have no need to travel anywhere—journey within yourself. Enter a mine of rubies and bathe in the splendor of your own light.” Rumi
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I walk softly into the labyrinth,
knowing not what I will find.
Cautiously, I journey within. 

Through labyrinthine paths I meander

Time unfolds like an origami crane,
‘art of being’ stitched

Purpose

Purpose
Closed my eyes 
Breathe, exhale
Clearing the mechanism around
Unleashed, daring, fearless
Gratitude, learning content
Joyful, peaceful, at ease

New core identity arises

Letting go of the unknown
Releasing the ego
Falling on ones knees
Echoing his praise
Acknowledging presence n blessings

Open my eyes 
A little wiser , stronger,

their honks a gentle refrain
never asking why

DOG CHASES TAIL-Doggone It for Pick a Title Poetry Contest

DOG CHASES TAIL
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
In circles goes the dog, 
a furry whirlwind, tail a-wagging,
his nose to the ground, sniffing out the ghost of a bone
with no clue as to where he left it. 
Ahh, the circle grows, and me thinks he’s quite mad!

Truth be told, that bone is a relic,
a trophy of nothing, a piece of yesterday's

RIVER OF GRIEF

RIVER OF GRIEF* 
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Grief flows through our lives much like a river traversing the mountain passes of a rugged landscape. Just as rivers create new channels through the land, the relentless flow of grief can lead to a new landscape within us. Over time, the waters of sorrow recede. A transformed self emerges, one more

Early morning, sun dripping gold over weathered fences.
     I was running, feet rhythmically striking the pavement.

Then a sudden jolt, my foot caught in a yawning crack.
     I remember

LAST WHISPERS

LAST WHISPERS
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
In the fading light of a Texas sunset,
the Texas windmill stands,
a sentry of rust and memory,
its blades stretching wide,
catching the last whispers of the day.

A warrior saint came from the plains of rural France,
a beautiful maiden named Joan, dressed in simple clothes,

With tiny paws raised, scurry of squirrels took a stand,
"Dear gardener, how dare you! This is quite unplanned!
    You’ve vacuumed up our nutty feast,
    Our food supply substantially decreased.

With their cheeks full of nuts, they declared,

SILENT CURATOR

SILENT CURATOR*
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Aging is not a thief,
but a silent curator,
selecting the finest moments,
the quiet triumphs,
the lessons learned in silence,
the wisdom that blossoms
like wildflowers in the cracks
of a once-bustling sidewalk.

So I embrace the years,
the softening edges of my spirit,
the grace of acceptance,
the gratitude for the journey,
for every heartbeat, every breath,
a reminder that life, in all its fleeting

the ground breathes in the brilliance

swirling, dizzy leaves
kaleidoscope canopy~
autumn’s gentle reign
life thrives beyond the branches
under gaze of watchful sun

autumn in mind’s eye
