Unbidden feelings often come
In times of quiet solitude

6/19/2023 – owed
Let no man nor woman nor child
Be ever made to act as if
Their lives are owed to any but themselves
6/17/2023 – wondering
I wonder after those I know no more
And whether they are wond’ring after me
6/14/2023 – make my mark
I’ll take my truth and let it fly
Release it from the lonely dark
And watch, intent, as it soars high
And I let myself make my mark
6/9/2023 – lie here
Lie here, beside me in the dark
As man’s brash sounds exhale
Listen with me to earthly songs
The music hiding there beyond it all
6/7/2023 – you are
You are
A star against the naught of space
An onyx jewel beside the grey
Rich earth beneath the greenest trees
The sun rising to make the day
You are
6/6/2023 – thread and loom
Give me a thread and loom, and I’ll
Weave tales of us in tapestries
And you can sing beside me while
We tell our stories to the breeze
6/4/2023 – wide water
Bright blues and greens under the glow
Of sun in high midafternoon
Into the cool I dip my toe
And listen to the clear call of the loon
5/30/2023 – a tiny speck
In dappled sunlight, list’ning to the breeze
I sit in wonder at the vibrant life
The chitt’ring birds and tall, triumphant trees
That make a tiny speck of human strife
5/26/2023 – how often
How often do I think of you?
As often as the breezes blow
As often as the tree frogs sing
As often as the new sprouts grow
As often as the birds take wing
