Gratitude

Formerly known
as the dark cloud
The negative thinking
is quickly dispelled these days

with acknowledgement of gratitudes

Yes, it’s all great
and I am grateful

Human Hearts

Far off in a land
distant and strange
in a time long forgotten

there were people
who had lives of experience
and emotions much like ours

The human experience

Hearts of love

Spirit Tree

Roots spread wide and deep

community sprung up

a strong tree with thick branches

Let us sing in the shade

of the ever dancing leaves

 Let us rise up and move as one

in the varied winds of change

Let us be a blessing

bearing fruit

for all our sustenance

Richness of Rose Petals

Tender thoughts
fragile with newness
and unfamiliarity
dropped like rose petals
on the shelf of fertile consciousness

Unwasted – only spent
this go around
adding richness to the moment
depth to the psyche

Potpourri of fodder

New blooms every season…

The Rains Came

It was dry and brown

cold to the bones chilled

Everyone chapped and uneasy

And then the rains came

The plants perked up

even amidst grey and soggy

Trees flexed with wintry breezes

Squirrels bundled up

in fluffed up fur

 And old dried tears

were washed away
when the rains came…
