And the
more that
I’ll find
will always
be better
for to
me it
is new
I don’t
cry for
things lost
for I
know that
nothing beats
something new
to learn
and explore
Metal
The you that
used to be
and not the
one that is
did you or
did I change
in a way
that the springs
could no longer
make less bumpy
metal against metal
we slowly go
less gaily so
Gifted
To give without
expecting any return
response or reply
is a grace
to be invisible
without others knowing
what where when
is itself abundant
to share generously
whether it’s time
or an ear
or a shoulder
is always an
act of prosperity
to give then
without is gratitude
for having much
to be gifted
Crazy
Crazy is
a street
that runs
both ways
for some
it ends
somewhere dark
for others
it carries
and lifts
and leaves
its mark
for me
it’s will
and courage
far less
bite and
mostly bark
Some
Sometimes easy someone
like a folded
blanket ready there
at the foot
to give comfort
cuddles and warmth
like a summer
breeze barely noticeable
until it passes
and wet grass
that gets between
the toes tickling
this is the
someone who sometimes
I would like
somewhere maybe someday
