I’ve often dwelt in thoughts of other times
Of other places, far away from here
Of moments distant, yet so very near
And there, my memory begins to rhyme

3/10/2021 – a haiku
Why choose cruelty
When sharing kind words, a smile
Is much easier?
Like the trees
I want to be like the trees
Blown about, they stand
Roots deep
Branches reach wide
Wind whistling through
In all seasons they stand tall
Each year they grow
Change
Evolve
I want to be like the trees
3/8/2021 – Happy spring!
The sun is shining bright
With warm and heav’nly light
All I can do is lift my arms and breathe
The damp air smells of green
The sky is clearest blue
And at long last the winter’s chill recedes
The works of humankind
Let none who list’n to music grand—
And none who love to read—
And none who gaze on paintings fine—
And none who clap for dance—
Let not one of them look upon
The works of humankind
And tell you that a man cannot
Move mountains with his hands.
Married to mundane
Without a sound
With peaceful calm
The conscious shifts beyond this mortal plane
That life is true
As so is this
Celestial marriéd to mundane
3/4/2021 – Itching to create
My fingers reach now
For strings to pluck, keys to play
Itching to create
3/3/2021 – Your smile
I walked without a sound
Went down a lonely street
And who there should I meet
But you
I quieted my lips
I opened up my ear
So better could I hear
Your voice
And though it’s been a while
You are beside me yet
With Fate I’ve won a bet
So ev’ry day I get to see your smile
3/2/2021 – Stories
For what do fantasies and tales
Exist, their characters and songs
Persist, if not to fill us all
With harmonies and histories and joyful music playing in our minds?
Alive once more
Wind howls and bites
The ground is icy cold
There is little green
And all slumbers
But life flickers
The sun smiles
Buds peek
Ice melts
The world is set to come alive once more
