observing hesitancy
camouflaged with a smile
the onus shifts to us
to rekindle vibrancy of joy
with sparkle of innocence

she love to sit 
and do this
while she dip
the chair shifts
and rock non stop
she still has long hair
in her

Trump's Security Clearance is void
And a Florida judge is annoyed
She wanted to see
How Trump's latest plea
Shifts the blame to an FBI droid

once we see
who we are

every realm
or domain

i like the way 
   a painting

   changes
   day to night

   i like to write
   a poem

   that shifts
   in different light

RAIN

River dancers on the shingles
Attenuating rhythmic shifts
Icy shivery down neck tingles
Nuances of seasoned riffs

Tremors



Power shifts from points
Capital demands profit
We are just puppets
Nature revolts through tremors
Towering greeds - shatter down

through senses pervading organic form

Premium Member Shifts in Perception

"Shifts.."

In perception

Seem to happen

Unpredictably

Immediately as

Nothing appears..

Astoundingly 

Without instruction

Without fanfare...

This Spot of Sunshine

As nurses hurry to their shifts
and a lady in a wheelchair waits at curbside,
we sit together among blossoming trees 
in this spot of sun
between hospital and home.

The droop of purple foxgloves lift. The uptick of balm a gift. The shape of eyes suddenly shifts On the brooding workplace clock. 4/27/2019

Premium Member Happy New Year

a digit shifts
conjuring hope
sans our resolve
so we raise a toast
to the powers that be
without any clarity
on what we seek
for we know not
who we are

Why I Married Her

A poetess once told me,
"Power shifts balance all the time
Empires crumble
Wealth and greatness shades too.
The only prosperity you can bed forever is love."
So i married her.

Premium Member Let Go of To Get To

Heart
Flutters
Agitates
For expansion
Lunging at illusions ephemeral

Eternal not found in the external
Search shifts within
Tranquil calm
Clear light
Dawns

The Way It's Always Been

Gone as quickly as you come,
things change with time and distance.
Slow chaotic confusion,
shifts in our atmosphere.
It will be awhile before I see you again
after tonight…

It always is.

Premium Member Night Shifts

They come
These thoughts
Ride the pillows of a dream
Torture
The befuddled muse
Drift
In a silent darkness
Dampen
The pillow
With muttered
Apologies.

Fragile Days

The sky shifts slow,
heavy with unspoken storms.
Breaths come shallow—
a tightrope walk on frayed threads.
Yet inside, a quiet fire glows,
rising through the cracks,
refusing to be snuffed.

Premium Member Have the Cake and Eat It Too

Tranquil eye in need of a makeover,
shifts baton of awareness to the heart,
enabling zest and zeal to takeover,
whereupon we feel bliss ignition start,
that engaged in life, soul rests in clover.

 mollusc shell host shifts crab wise ~
          life clings to low tide
