Life Can Be Slippery


Life Can Be Slippery

I am moving through

the day smoothly.

But, I don't see the wet spot.

Suddenly, I fall.

All I hold scatters.

Perhaps, some shatters.

I get back up.

Gather all I can

and begin to move again.

Shelter from the Sun

 

Shelter from the Sun

Stand in the shade.

Keep cool that way.

Don't be afraid

of the dark.

You can still

see the light.

A Great Planter


 

A Great Planter

The wind is a great planter.

Its nursery is unlimited.

Tree leaves let me know

when a shipment has been delivered.

How many flowers will this batch yield?

Have they landed in a garden bed,

or will I have to move them

out of the grass?

Take In All You Can


Take In All You Can 

Don't miss what is

right in front of you.

Take in the colors.

Which ones attract you?

Which ones repel you?

Take in the lives.

Which ones are the same?

Which ones are different?

Take in all you can.

Will you come back again, or

will this be your only visit?

A Stream of Storms


 A Stream of Storms

Month after month

Week after week

Lightning flashes.

Thunder claps.

Trees fall.

Water rises.

Month after month

Week after week

A stream of storms

like I've never seen.
