Sitting on a Stone
Sitting on a stone
feeling the heat.
The butterfly travels alone.
Does it have a schedule?
How far has it flown?
It can't tell me.
Maybe, it just roams.
Stops when it is beat
and sits on a stone.
This is a form called magic nine.
What's in the Water?
What's in the water?
It's hard to see.
So small, it barely
made a splash.
It stays afloat but,
isn't moving fast.
What made it fall
right here, right now?
I wish the nearby
squirrel could talk.
Turn Your Thoughts Into Actions
Reflect on how
you may grow.
Turn your thoughts
into actions.
At first, your efforts
may end in a
pile of debris.
Then, you try again;
and reach heights
higher than you
ever dreamed.
Life Unfolds
Life unfolds before us.
A bud grows,
then the petals show.
They unwind one at a time,
and soon are in full bloom.
A Few Steps
You may only need
a few steps.
Where you stop may
be a place to rest.
Don't diminish the
value of this test.
You stepped up
and did your best.
Now, you can focus
on what's next.
Carry me away to a new place.
Even if the trip is bumpy,
I will take it anyway.
Something new to see will
be welcomed by me.
Is my choice rash?
That is up
in the
Just Stretch
Have I drifted
too far away?
Can I get
back to shore?
Am I closer
than I think?
Do I just
need to stretch?
Hold on Tight
The wind at your back
ruffles your feathers.
Hold on tight and
you will be all right.
Open Your Heart
Open your heart.
Let it take in the sights,
sounds, tastes, textures
in your world.
Choose the ones
to hold dear
and the ones
not to go near.
