Some Have Been Lost

Some Have Been Lost

We shared time together.

With some it was long,

with others too short.

We stood in sun and storm,

cold and warm, dark and light.

Then, they dropped out of sight

and left a space that remains

every day and every night.

Our Roots

Our Roots

Encourage us

to follow them.

Connect us between

now and then.

Diverge and take us where

imagination wouldn't.

Give us answers that

create questions.

Anchor us, and sometimes,

weigh us down.

When the Leaves Are Gone

When the Leaves are Gone

When the leaves are gone,

I miss their color and

the sound they make in a breeze.

But, I take note of the twists

and turns of the branches

and how they look against a blue sky.

I see beyond the places where

the leaves used to be and am surprised

by all that opens up before me.

Headwork

Headwork

I can put my

head down to rest.

Take some time to

think about what's next.

Try to put events

into context.

I can't put my

head down and hide.

Ignore the actions

I can't abide.

Give up the fight

to turn the tide.

Chilled

Chilled

When did the warmth disappear?

When we weren't looking.

When did the chill move in?

When it saw the opportunity.

The Rock Stands

The Rock Stands

The rock stands

in dark and light,

when storms rage

or peace reigns.

The surface gets

scratched and

sometimes cracks.

Pieces crumble

and fall away.

And so, it changes

everyday, but still

the rock stands.

Move With The Water

Move With The Water

Move with the water.

Let it keep you afloat.

Don't struggle

against the current.

Drift a little.

Allow yourself to

be carried until

you are ready to set

your own course.

Fishing

Fishing

How long did you fish

before Mother Nature

took your line?

Did she give you time

to enjoy the sun

and the breeze?

Did she allow a

catch or two before

you were through?

Did you forget about

the tree until your line

wrapped around the leaves?

How long did you fish

before Mother Nature

said, "Enough?"
