Off Again

 

Featured image: Sparrow

sparrows flocking 

     at the feeder

they are off 

     in a minute

fluttering and eddying

     excited

back again – giddy

where to next, 

     they are off again

     rushing

amazing, such a wonder. 

Nothing More

We search for meaning. We label things and meanings. We tell ourselves we are a diamond, a queen, a star. But we are just what we are and appear to be. Nothing more.

in my adirondack

Yet the same

we bask in the

Sun

Everything Changes

blackness in the void

stranded

ravaged by the 

storm

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
