Christmas trees
to me
are family
at least
while they
are visiting
telling stories
they remind
giving joy
they receive
our adoration
but then
they go
like most
relatives do
into obscurity
until next
year when
they will
visit again

Ready
I am now
ready to receive
having already done
the hardest work
as though I’ve
traveled many miles
or maybe none
for distance isn’t
the measure and
neither is time
for neither exists
when it comes
to the soul
I am now
ready to receive
being now empty
ready to fill
and finally overflow
FirstNotFinally
My wish
for our
world is
that we’d
learn to
love ourselves
first before
ever trying
to love
another and
if not
then at
least before
it is
too late
and the
fruit we
are turns
bitterly bruised
Belonging
One rarely belongs
when one joins
joining simply reinforces
ones own uncertainty
belonging only ever
exists in oneself
many of one
only ever makes
itself a crowd
and a crowd
is never about
the lonely one
the lonely one
continues to be
HappyNewYear
Clocks keep ticking
years keep going
as another one
comes another goes
like the ocean
kissing the beach
on and on
and on until
we ourselves are
pulled to sea
so goes years
so very few
indeed so very
fast too a
blink of an
eye in time
cheers to 2024
