Happy Mothers Day

She
who bestow’d upon us
more than the gift of Life
but also her kindly Heart—
seeds sprouting
both Love and Nature’s favor

Breath Giver

every eon arous’d I become
by a stranger’s sensual embrace
till I cry aloud a joyful cry
and spew forth my eggs
of liquid fire and ash
to mingle with the suitors
of land and sky and sea
that my evolving world might endure
not only to join Time
but Her for some to really feel

daily bread

mid morn—
kitchen window opens its eyes—
charming our nest into song frenzy—
front door reveals a friend
trying to mimic our chirp—
“Morning, pretty birds!”
our hearts beat past our wings
as wild seed fills our aerial bowl
and garnishes the feet of our tree—
“Enjoy, pretty birds!”
once again so good be life—
‘tis breakfast in Vale of Spring

love’s token

I stop for an instant
to look here—
a thought of you emerges—
the happiness in your face—
your eyes and lips joining hands
and embracing the special moments
that were ours…
and will always be

labor trek

driving a work day like a weather’d mural be—
to and fro knowing every pothole
every utility pole streaking past eyes’ corners—
subconscious steering every curve
braking every intersection—
‘tis better only as a passenger
that marvels lost to attentiveness
can be cherish’d and gift’d to memory

Terra anemic
