And like water
Added to sand
You sit there
Inside me being
You and making
Me from dryness
Into a pool
Where birds splash
And fish swim
And I you
Too give you
A reason to
Be something other
Than what you
Originally have been
Category: Curiosity
Marvelous
And there are
Buds and there
Are blossoms there
Are snowflakes and
There are snowstorms
There are pennies
And there are
Dollars yet the
Greater isn’t better
It’s simply grander
Everything starts the
Other usually as
One simple thing
Joined by others
Such is love
Such is life
Be the first
Thing and others
Will join you
Creating something marvelous
QuiteAnother
And yet again
I am that
Bear the boy
Outgrew the bike
The girl forgot
The letter unopened
And the ornaments
Stowed in attic
I’m the deserted
Baseball field the
Empty beach the
Quiet carnival and
The vacant bigtop
I am alone
Once being something
Now quite another
Growth (to Jay)
There is but
One simple truth
My dear boy
We are either
Growing or we’re
Dying there’s no
Middle ground move
From bear to bike
To car to
Boy and be
Your best self
That’s what you
Have to do
Time
Oh don’t you
Know that it
Takes time for
A bulb to
Become a blossom
Or an acorn
To spread its
Canopy so why
Do we insist
That anything including
Love is immediate
Plant the seeds
Of curiosity water
Them with affection
And after time
A bouquet appears
