I Am Peridot
I am yellow-green! Peridot the color of self-esteem
Protective against life’s rife that may stream
I come from the earth’s rich interiors ore,
xenolith layers that make up its inner core
Purifying positive spiritual energy and well-being
Channeling love to intrusive shadows unseen
When sunrays shimmer thru shade tree leaves,
you’ll see me glinting behind the summer breeze

Mindfulness
Be mindful of what you consume, for it shapes your being.
Nourish your vessel with compassion, as your diet influences your inclinations.
Choose your music judiciously, for rhythm resonates deeply with your soul.
Be mindful of what you read, as words penetrate straight to your heart.
Always practice prudence, for the devil’s trickery often hides in

Wellness
The glossy brochure made a promise,
To those maybe living with strife,
That by moving to their Senior Eden,
You’d find “wellness” the way of your life.
Though perhaps their apartments are lovely
And the clubhouse has classes and such,
To offer a life filled with “wellness,”
Is really, to me, just too much.
For no matter how shiny the pamphlet,
It all adds

It shall be well
The routine just became daunting
Straining, overbearing and exhausting
Yet it is the current blessing I should celebrate
That drains much strength just to navigate
But since our world has seen so little good
I try to not seem from a spoilt brood
And only to God can I present my case
For bare truth be rife

Unworded Rituals
Glow morning warm
hugging
sleepy scalp and face embrace
outside sacred pink
yellowing fragrant dawn
Without fear of fading dark
or death
or sin
Welcome in
naked foot massage
pressure memories of walk
on stretching strings
Hang on
for this new day's feel good dance
Lay back
tummy up
butt and back below
Angel face
reflecting innocence of trauma
from hands on humane touch
empowering health
warming arms to shoulder soothing skin,
lightly felt wealth of recreation
Back

Get Betta Soon
YOU’LL BE FEELING FIN-TASTIC IN NO TIME!
Let us not have fears
Or unnecessary tears
For the chastising of one another
Dear poets maybe best to not smother
Let's get us back on track
A handful out of 4,600 not bad a smack
How I wish you would hear
We're just two lost souls
Swimming in a fish bowl
Year after year!

No Gain Without Pain, a Runners Tale
Legs pumping, muscles screaming
Eyes transfixed, seeing but not seeing,
Mind wandering sometimes dreaming
Heart thumping, loudly beating.
Body glistening, pace increasing,
No thought other than just breathing,
Inner voice gently pleading,
It's against me that you're competing.
Hardened gaze, resolve seeking
Any thought of slowing down but fleeting,
End in sight, goal achieving,
In determination solely now believing.
Then it’s done, smile seeping
Hands on thighs, tension

Let's Go Play
If only I knew the words to say
To make your pain go away
If only my words could really heal
I can't imagine how you feel
If only my words can color the gray
Just maybe I could make your day
If my words could find a way
I'll put your burdens down to lay
If only my words could

Wellness and Worry
Wellness and worry are by no means friends.
To be well, your mind of worry you must cleanse.
Living with worry, there’s a price to pay
worry will kill you if you let it stay.
If you want to enjoy physical health,
beware of worry it creeps up by stealth
then causes your nervous system to stress,
and in time, you’ll be

Familiar Patterns In An Altered State of Wellness
i am dizzy right now and i am unable to be able
i simply refuse to reestablish my common sense
i choose stubbornness and it has now caused me mad pain
maybe i will grab my sweety's throw blanket and sleep in front of the chiropractor's door
i am lightheaded right now and i am unable to be able

Wellness Reigns
In this current pandemic bout
afflicted hearts in pain do shout
though in vain, masks hide grievous pout
they hope to win from virus’ clout.
With many variants that do sprout
come varied vaccines’ “What about?”
oh, faith in GOD is my sure route
HIM I trust against fear and doubt.
Clinging to CHRIST for blessings’ spout
truth of good health over fake tout
