Concentrating

time after time
playing back the oldies

remembering the sounds
heard as a child

whispering secrets
horse yawning in the morning dusk

New Word Order

oodles of puddles
words are meshy subjects
has anyone written this before?

Zig Zag

words do not match up
interpretations on a sound
on a vowel

waves begin to build
high

calming down

match

align

breathe

The Storyteller

floating mythically
he told stories
smiling from ear to ear

The Mountain La La La La

the mountain seems so tall
la la la la
earth beneath my feet
walking
heart healing

sun
does not know
sound of butterflies
flap flap flap

Sweet Lemonade

balance beam, sunday afternoon
sweet lemonade

cheese crackers, watching television
sweet lemonade

axis spins, circus giraffe
sweet lemonade

Gold

gold from my pockets
through my soul

Mixed Up, Nothing To Say

when the words
don't match the mind

speechless
mixed up

Celebrating Life

dancing beneath the stars
millions of people
dancing
all night
celebrating life

Adventure Happens

unexpected destinations
challenges
journeys

what is next?
will i end up at home?

opening up the heart
allows adventure to glisten
all will be okay

Waterways

waterways outside my window
lifts me up to a higher place
carries me through the wilderness

Light Bulb Over My Head

misty river
light bulb over my head

there is nothing here
just a mirror over there

i can't see
all i know is i want to be


(written for Monday April 19, 2010)

Nothing is Left

where did my soul go
why do i feel empty
where did my soul go
nothing is left

Let Me Be

don't take me with you
over hills and sea
through the wilderness we go
there is nothing left for me

one day
i will see the shining sea
nothing more to stand for
everything is lost

don't take me with you
let me be all i can be
don't take me with you
please just let me be

Beautiful People

lucky me
life filled with beautiful people

Everything and Nothing

you are everything and nothing
the truth will set you free

Bananas into Circus Tents

the words whisper
cloudy skies
dreamless nights

creating new things
out of nothing

bananas into circus tents

a wondrous place
of fantastic imagination

4 am

waking up
still asleep
going home

Youth

young voices
energetic
filled with hope
possibility


(written for Monday April 12, 2010)

Seashells

walking across the beach
seashells beneath my feet

Eloquence

let me be the one
carrying the heavy-load
speaking truth
eloquence
possibilities

never again
my heart slipped away


(written for Saturday April 10, 2010)

Bottle of Rum

me and you
a bottle of rum
all the live long day

Time to Stop

eyes heavy
no ability to keep thinking
no way!

must stop
really must stop

What Drives You

is this you
or who are you?

Stuck Car

car is stuck
what do i do
stuck
the car and me too


(written for Tuesday April 6th)

Ping Ping Ping

the tips of my fingers
ping ping ping

what can i do
nothing
what can i do

the tips of my fingers
ping ping ping

Rising Up

wanting for the universe
to come together

knowing
jumping

Peace

the world came together today
peace

Trying to See

keeping my eyes open
trying to read the words

to watch
to see

don't want to see
any more

Space-Out

sitting here
mindless
space-out
i forget


who i am
what i am
why i am

not good
bad
or
good and bad
