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.

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.
