Surprising Moments

No matter how 
Ugly the mind is
It will be happy
To receive a flower.

No time to shop
A delivery package
From unknown sender
In front of your door.

No money for
Birthday celebration
A dawning serenade will do
A heartfelt surprise.

Life has a way of surprising us

Life has a way of surprising us,
Sometimes for the better, sometimes for the worse.
But we will rise, regardless of who stays or leaves,
Because a single bad incident is not your entire journey,
And life doesn’t stop there.
Neither does your growth.
So let the storms come, and let them pass,
For in their wake, we find new beginnings.

Premium MemberSurprising Grandpa Hedgehog

It was November first, Hedgehog Grandpa’s birthday.
"We’ve got to be going!" Mom was yelling that day.
The one that was keeping us back was brother Gay.
A slow poke again, on that cool Saturday.

"I am leaving now." The voice was loud, from Dad.
"I am right behind you!" I yelled. My name is Thad.
My mother was holding a

Premium MemberTruly Surprising

It’s truly surprising
   given their feelings
that climate activists
   have not sent us all reeling

with words that convey
  the dire straits we are in
like ‘Climate Pandemic’
  ~ then the battle they’d win

Premium MemberSurprising Elders

I wonder if there are Elders
wise
or more perennially surprised
who, looking back at their youth,
regret all their erotic time
invested in having peak
experiential sex,

And wish they had, instead,
done something, most anything,
more left brain dominant,
more theoretically 
politically correct,
more economically prominent.

I so hope not.

Better off, I feel sure,
invested in abundant splatters of messy,
sometimes musical, health

Than overly divested
away from EarthTribe's

Premium MemberLady Visually Surprising-

She wore her spirit
 it was flowing
 in the drift the atmosphere was sweet
 when she was present
 her soul the brights of her eyes
 did shine ever so
 her heart was beating
~
Nurtured  her surroundings
Embracing
The water for sweat drenching her body
When she is present she shines as silk
Skins golden shines glistering
O' did she so

The darkness is letting in the dawn
A new day, dew on the lawn.
Birdsong rising as the sun rises,
nature is magnificent,
always surprising.

Joy Surprising Perhaps Tears Spilling Hope

To feel this warmth, now
overwhelming me, is

Joy

That giving these gifts
brings such gratitude, was

Surprising

Yet, as much my gift to me
Are you coming back?

Perhaps

If you see me with glistening face
my insides swelling, know

Tears

It is only my soul
touching new places inside,now

Spilling

Into this life too long barren of you
awakening possibilities, is

Hope

Surprising

From twenty feet I saw him
when he first looked at me
I really took his breath away.

He looked at me as if he had
seen me in his dreams a thousand times.

We exchanged 'Hellos.'
He remains a mystery.

Still
it was a nice
pleasant surprise
and I saw it
with my own eyes.
