Among the Shadows
Trees lay down on the ground.
I hop from one to another
without a fall.
Walk on branches
large and small
Then the light changes
and the shadows are gone.

First Impressions

First Impressions
What appears sturdy
at first glance
may be shaky
under the surface.

Reunion
After hanging out together
most of the year,
the cones went out
on their own.
Plop, plop--they dropped.
Hit the ground, rolled around.
Pushed by the wind.
Kicked by a foot.
Some crushed by the same.
But, one small group
was gathered up.
Placed side-by-side.
Reunited after the fall.

Let It Be True
Let It Be True
I see you.
Let it be true
that seeing you
means spring
will be here soon.

Change Direction
Change Direction
We all need guidance from time to time.
Someone to show us the way.
As you move along,
don't be afraid to change direction
if something catches your eye.

Peace Be With You
Peace Be With You
Peace be with you, my friend.
Be yours until the end
both inside and outside.
May you have peace of mind.
May the stars be aligned
in your favor always.
May the gift of good health
be a part of your wealth
all the days of your life.
In the times you can't hide
from disruptions outside,
may calmness direct you.
All this I wish for you.
Please share with others, too.
This poem is a French form called chanso.

No Games Today
No Games Today
I thought some players
would dribble in,
but time ran out
before they could get here.
I should have known
they would get called for traveling.

Keep Them Safe
Keep Them Safe
I stand guard,
my senses on alert.
It is my turn
to keep them safe.
Sound the alarm.
Prevent any harm.
