An Easier Way

And through the Pink
I see there is
a place to be
where I am
safe
quiet
with delight to see
the shining of dancing light
upon the flowers
the love is there
shimmering
glimmering
glistening
listening
waiting for the warmer breath
waiting patiently
for any length
of time it takes
to know there is
an easier way to live my day
to continue with the best I have
and let freedom be
in breathing out.....

falling flowers
gravity
beautiful blooms
carpeting pink
above
below
whatever I think...

 

This Day I Wish For Paradise

Come the morning

another day of pouring rain

another day of cold again

but let me now

go within

and see the fertility of the wet

as seeds will grow

and tadpoles swim

as ponds do bring

the transformation of the muddy bog

to blooming lotus and croaking frogs.

Shimmering

Pink Lake Dimboola, August 2016

I sang my soul
to bring me through 
whatever storms I drove into
whatever happened on the seat beside
the one I sat upon on that drive......
