Sparrow and Me

sparrow sits on top

of a tree

me 

in my adirondack

basking

in the sun

perspectives

different

Yet the same

we bask in the

Sun

Everything Changes

blank paper before me

empty

formless

desire-less

i

place a mark

in the middle

everything

changes

Shelter

Shelter

blackness in the void

stranded

ravaged by the 

storm

searching

seeking

shelter 

from the storm

i wonder

He beckons

Shelter

From the storm

She Sang

She sang

her songs filled the air

She sang

she had nothing to lose

she sang

her glory took her to

the land of ageless

peace

innocence

and kindness

she sang and became a

beacon of dazzling light

she sang to the magic

of yes, yes, yes

Time passes

Time passes, 

today will be tomorrow

don’t forget

the sweetness 

you saw today.

Today, well, every day, really stop rushing around and quietly, in your own way, allow your eye to see. 

To see the moon, stars, clouds, the sun, a friend, a favorite color and have an unforgettable experience.

That Tree

A small finch lands on a branch of a tree.

That tree, once so scraggly, is now deep in color.

I wanted to cut it down way back when.

Make more room in the garden, I said.

But we didn’t cut it down, and now it thrives. 

That tree reminds me every time when I look

at its beauty,

that like that tree, we need to give

others a chance and space to thrive.

Art and Life

Art and life, the joy in life and art, can only be discovered through confrontation of something unknown, something threatening.  The threatening and unknown draws our attention to the challenge and in the end fills us with wonder with life and art.
