Stepping Out

Full to the brim with hope
My heart
Fluttering like a little bird's

Ready for new endeavors
My mind
Cautions with earlier experience

There is no standing still
My soul
Reveals the inmost truth of life 

Their voices swirling in me
Very unsettled
I inspect all the implications

Steadily placing my feet
With love 
My eyes draw towards the distance

Taking in the cool air
I know
The future lies ahead of me

Full to the brim with hope
My heart
Flutters like a little bird's

Wounds

past angels and egos
now my wings loose their feathers
morning dew will mend

The Good Love

I am wondering
How this easy severance
Of two parts that have grown together
Came about

Years of accomplishments
Halted by one quick cut
Like it is nothing
And all could be regained in a moment

We walk off with ease
No conscience weighed
Picking flowers off the side of the road
Calling them trees


Is it
That the good love
So comes with ease and lightness
Envelopes us with great care
And carries us forward unbeknownst to ourselves?

Simply we embraced each other
And our lives swept to new shores
Filling our hearts
Presuming it was always meant to be

Is it
That the good love
Deceives us in that
So we believe we can start over
With the same effortlessness?

We defy the labor of love
The tender growth of life
The miracle of the reciprocal spark
That is necessary to create

Is it
That the good love
Lets us walk away foolishly
Into vast fields of destruction
Holding on to our vanity
That tomorrow will offer it all up again?


What was easily gained 
Is lost easily
But the song we dance to
Changes its tune forever

Some Days - Other Days

SOME DAYS

like a little stream
life flows softly and with ease
all dancing eddies


OTHER DAYS

into opaque mud
boulders press with sharp edges
only breathe through crevice

He Told Me

Suddenly I see
that the basement is flooded
up to my knees
rendering me helpless
wondering how to scoop it out
with just this small cup in my hands

And how could I have
not known this or forgotten
water sloshing 
dark in ominous circles
being cold and somehow foreign – 
while every drop I know by name

And for a moment
with this small cup in my hands 
I stand puzzled 
while awareness slips away
just like water slipping through cracks 
caused by my ambiguity

And again I go
through all the daily motions
with no idea
what's lapping at my knees
and don't hear the cool shivers crackle
In the hours of my ignorance

Clearly

insurmountable
opportunity
to inner freedom


for contest
From a Birmingham Jail

Words

words fall clear like drops
ripple through reality
only stir up mud

5 - 7 - 5

how can she speak up
without breaking the format
confined by learned rules


words picked carefully
essence of mind and message
precision poet

Love

The old famous mathematician (Paul Erdös)

Love for an old man that I don't even know
because he has embraced his gift
a big arch 
his life

there in between
I am sure
was sadness, loneliness, hardship

but he kept his course
the internal compass never deceived
suspended in the air
striving for development
choosing the flight
knowing that we only can touch down
for a moment
but need to keep moving
to fulfill the potential
to connect the dots
to make visible 
the fabric of life

Forgotten

By and by I will find
That I can let go and forget
That person's meaning
Then I will wonder
What kept my heart clutched
and my soul scheming

Then I will find traces 
That are hidden inside me 
Of far away lands
Then I will realize
That memories fade 
And stop making demands

Then at last I will see
That all these puzzle pieces
Create a whole anew
Then I will decide 
This to be the world
Without me and you
