Different

Sit in a

Different chair look

Out a different

Window eat a

Different meal sing

A different song

Love a different

Person and live

A different life

LoveNow

Now the love

Comes creeping like

Ivy up a

Brick wall rather

Than the match

Erupting into flame

It’s quiet and

Moves like a

Pond fed by

A brook always

Filled but tranquil

This is love

Now

MorningSlow

The day starts

Slowly like growing

Moss on the

Northern face of

A tree slowly

Like a pot

Set to simmer

Like a snowfall

Slow and sleepy

This day starts

Like a child

Awakening from sleep

Drowsy yet excited

By days arrival

PlantMeThere

Living this life

That I have

Created is less

Living and more

Acceptance there’s no

Challenge it’s comfortable

And safe but

Like a potted

Plant I’m only

Capable of growing

So high whereas

On the uncertain

Prairie I can

Grow as high

As the sky

Plant me there

Memories (for Muenster)

The memories that

You bring to

Me are like

Presents wrapped up

In pretty paper

And ribbons cascading

They trip over

Each other like

A long-eared puppy

Causing the rollicking

Laughter of thought

So sweet in

My mind then

On my lips

That I lick

Like a cat

To sweet cream
