Of all the wonders

The bending light of sunrise

Creates a new day

 

As I return it

As I place the seed in soil

I also place faith

 

The steep twisting path

Will not take you all the way

You must find your course

 

Just choose you own speed

Let worry and time go past

The view is worth it

 

On fall’s dry shoulder

A patient cactus attends

Believing in rain

 

A solitary ant

Lost – banished – perhaps willful?

Or just out for lunch

 

In what’s left for me

Intervening now and when

I will take my time

 

You must wait the freeze

Have a deep sleep my darling

We’ll meet in the spring

 

There are no straight lines

Eventually they bend

By gravity’s pull

 

Hand a gift each day

Find one good word to offer

It may warm a heart

 

To admire change

Consider the dancing flame

A formless wonder

 

To see a child run

Flying on spirited strides

Barely touching earth

 

I am furious

I discharge raw energy

A cry of pure joy
