The Swirl

The swirl

The swirl of startled finches …leaving the feeder

almost touches me … sitting in my Adirondack chair,

enjoying watching the day begin.

Perhaps when they reach me…they will ask me to

fly with them.

Each Particle

Each particle
Each instant
A reality

Unforgettable

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.

Off Again

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.
