State of Mind

Yo, how long has it been since you quit trying? 
Or perhaps your your self-assurance is cooled and drying.
Maybe it is your arrogance that's fortifying 
Your state of mind that's forever verifying. 

Self-reliance and discretion in latitude,
Confidential secrets kept in gratitude.
Our laziness is a companion to platitude;
Of course we all know it's really an attitude. 

So where do you go from here to appreciate 
Lessons of objective differentiate? 
Making the changes to complete your self-portrait, 
Faith and belief reconstruct, reconciliate. 

Temerity must fall by the wayside while you persue 
Those things given to provide discression to you.
Tact, talent, trust, and truth are the tools we use to work through 
Order and procedures that program anew. 

Seeing the bigger picture creates flexibility 
Thinking carefully opens avenues of discernability. 
Your new state of mind, simply served with humility 
Shows what fun life can be when you re-think your ability.

Petal Mettle

I wonder, do daises tell? 
Among us, who hasn't tried 
More than once petals to expel? 

Watch whispers of white-hearted hope 
From within this circled chain; 
Petaled path on which we grope. 

Numbers hold this uncertain 
Mystery until they're plucked 
One by one.  Life is taken 

From each one because of lore,
To assuage the human heart. 
They die to make your love soar!

Fragrant Beauty

Blossoms so fragrant 
Rare beauty seen nowadays 
Elderberry jelly.

Spread Your Wings

Spread your wings to fly 
Not the time for pecking 
Leap of faith apply.

One Volunteer, Katrina Afterwards

I take time for coffee and croissants,
Pack the car and drive to Houston town.  
Make delivery of food and clothes,
Bandages and diapers; meeting wants. 

Inbound on US Highway 59 
Long lines move slow, who can they all be? 
Visitors who peek at disaster? 
No, they're just like me.  Here to combine 

United community effort. 
Everyone shares disaster's burdens 
With trained professionals who care; do
What they can to ease and abort, 

Victims angry fears by giving them 
Tender care, love, and compassion's grace. 
Today, their new life begins.  It is 
Found within this chaos and mayhem. 

The weary need rest and blankets too. 
Offer an ear, a shoulder, or hand. 
Be a friend whose empathy shares a 
Teary smile and a speechless thank you. 

Tonight I'm weary, this day's been long, 
Inside my sad heart there's light and joy; 
Today's pilgrims share the courage, of 
America's sense of right -- that's strong. 

My eyes close with a prayer on my lips,
Thankful that I am able to be, 
One Volunteer making a difference
Helping some cope as they come to grips.

'green' Tranquility

It's like walking on air 
With my feet on the ground, 
This life with nature; share. 

Water and air so pure 
Is kissed by the sun, and 
Blessed by the moon demure. 

Here, good Spirits abound. 
Their circled protection's 
Life's gift of love profound. 

The richness of the earth; 
Trees and plants and flowers, 
All nourish our home berth. 

Crystal waters and leaves of green 
Taste of life's elixirs, 
Don't destroy; keep it clean. 

Unharmed by humankind, 
Sacred, wild, and free; 
Tranquilize; peace of mind.  

Healing shares healthy goal 
Wisdom's birthed from her womb 
Nature's heart and soul.

Love Prevails

Lambent 
Opportunities 
Ventilate 
Energy. 

Palpitations 
Radiating 
Endless 
Vibrations, 
Assuaging 
Idealistic 
Lascivious 
Secrets.

Ode Homestead

Visiting with memories 
Childhood days, thoughts remembered, 
Things of me that used to be. 

House that's aged, weathered and grayed -  
I feel its splintering pain; 
Watching me as we all played. 

Elements she held at bay; 
Her walls hold cherished secrets; 
Creaky floors gave me away. 

Love has gone, home lost it's shine. 
Here I sit, this last recall, 
Earth to earth, dust to dust, pine. 

Once I left she lost her spring. 
Her heartbeat beat its last breath 
No more a home but a thing. 

Memories stand strong as she 
Reigned her years; everyone's gone 
Moving on as it should be. 

Thanks to you my ode homestead, 
I grew up secure and loved 
And trips to the wood shed. 

My heartfelt tears have a smile; 
Emotions, both joy and sad; 
New owners, life's worthwhile.

Stone and Bone Unthrown

The strides of human nature 
Trek around our Mother Earth 
With Verbal superstitions 
Intact to fit each culture. 

Like faith, it is quite unseen; 
Yet it is seen in action; 
Living daily life to change, 
Strange old customs to cuisine 

For trading thoughts with others. 
Accepting without discourse 
Test your truth of their belief 
Becoming one -- earth brothers. 

Life adapts to each his own, 
That one lives eternally  
However and wherever, 
Sharing stone and bone unthrown.

The Blossom

Some rainbows are a bumpy ride, 
Always when there's something to hide. 
Internal woes awakened by 
Unmet needs; shares intensify. 

The inevitable timing's 
Synchronous decisions miming, 
Pro and con sides facet debate; 
Are friendly, civil, or irate. 

Here forgiveness spans protocol, 
Blame and selfishness, none to all. 
Who's to decide? Just let it go. 
It's the only way you can grow. 

The one who's left alone will find 
Their priorities realigned. 
Maturity heals this pain 
Opens your heart, love to obtain. 

Sensing happiness with self does 
Gives inside confidence because, 
Good company in self relieves 
The loneliness others believe. 

See and learn all is not your fault, 
Life's been seasoned with too much salt. 
Just a touch of pickled, preserved 
You, the blossom, beautifully served.
