As our human population increases 
we risk becoming an invasive species.

Brilliant, iridescent
Illuminating all paths

Glows in deepest darkness; can not be hid!

Covid has its grubby hands around my chest
Surrendering me weak and lethargic 
Not feeling the best 

Grubby invasive hands are NOT welcome here 
“GET OUT” of this body
Get lost , disappear ….....

Intruders
Invasive interlopers
Encroaching on the edge
Of thought
Prowlers invading
The sanctity of the soul
Clumsy burglars
Violating the boundaries
Of whispered secrets
Purring cat burglars
Seeking comfort

Ghosts 
                  lost, invasive 
       floating,  haunting, wailing
Houses, Mirrors, Mansions, Chandeliers 
   levitating , intruding, lamenting 
           aimless, meddlesome
                      Spirits....

Stomped by intruding and invasive breed, 
Foul footprint of this year is a misdeed -
Two weighty  boots with heavy tread 
Stirred quite a lot of dirt and dread. 
COVID and DONALD just will not concede!

Smile

A design from clouds
That covers a soft red sky
At perfect sunset

Frown

This sky turning grey
From darker invasive clouds
At tearful midday

perky yellow woodland sunflower
you grew renegade at the side of my Kansas woods
against the backdrop of the forest, you look amazing
glowing in the colors of an August sun
you are reputed to be an invasive plant
welcome to my meadow, you bring me joy
invade away, with my blessing...

it’s not often
he let the stress
get to him
anger swell
within
invasive
infectious
festering
no end in sight
his mind
detonate explode
scatter
it’s not often
but today was different
just can’t deal
he let it get to him

There's a plant in my garden,
Looks like a tree.
I didn't plant it,
But I watered it, you see.

There's a plant in my garden,
With roots running deep.
It's sucking the life
Right out of me.

There's a plant in my garden
That's bigger than me.
I didn't plant it,
But I watered it, you see....

Perfectly poised 
To take the photo
Steady hands
Snap the still
A moment in time
Forever frozen
Hung on display
A proud prize
For all to see
The memory still fresh 
Hidden inside
The warmth that came
Being surrounded by the flash
Lingers on
Invasive thoughts
Roam the memory
Hung in view...

Sparkles of thunder my quiet being.
Warmed touch of shoulder wiped my tears.
How invasive in a given day uninvited growth.
Let frozen picture saved in shaking storm.

As carriage brought me here wish to take me back.
To friends claimed wonders in their limits.
Prayed love and respect lend me to wings to fly....
