A blessing
is simply
what one
heart whispers
to another
in a
language that
only the
soul speaks
Month: July 2025
Depth
Depth with which
you speak doesn’t
come by way
of inches but
of miles no
not traveled lived
and time well
it tags along
therefore keep your
fingers and shovels
to your selves
for no matter
how far you
poke or dig
depth will ever
only be found
on the soles
of the soul
Meanness
Like a bear
shaking off sleep
and leaves and
twigs so do
I the epithets
launched at me
a million arrows
sent skyward without
aim just misery
and I unshielded
duck and dodge
vainly attempting to
avoid the attack
into a door
I stumble maybe
little more than
a ditch in
which to hide
smelling the carnage
of my cowardice
Art
To have peace
one must maintain
the peace that
one has found
me I clean
my home often
knowing that it
is the frame
wherein one can
see the artwork
of my serenity
Create
I can’t tell
you the joy
that I feel
looking at things
and making another
be it words
or vegetables or
fruits and flour
oh such flavors
but effort away
just me and
my little imagination
creating such things
as friends enjoy
