There’s a rhythm
less a beat
more a flow
in our lives
chaos feeds order
order to chaos
summer to fall
longing to love
love to loss
loss to longing
back to love
in the midst
is just us
standing mid stream
by currents unseen
as we wade
and sometimes swim
to the other
side that side
being opposite this

PuzzlePieces (for Gil)
So so so
many people are
just jigsaw puzzles
with pieces missing
but rather than
looking for the
pieces that fit
they find pieces
that don’t that
in fact fit
someone else’s puzzle
and they settle
for a picture
that isn’t quite
but is enough
whereas I prefer
to be missing
than filled with
what never ever
belonged there in
the first place
ThyLove
I am learning
every single day
the importance of
putting me first
this isn’t selfish
it is essential
immersing ourselves in
the bath that
we are not
only cleanses but
also rejuvenates us
take your time
with yourself today
you will love
yourself for it
WisdomSaid…
Wisdom speaks into the
mystery that I am
It knows exactly what
I will one day
so when Wisdom said
that there’s no one
for me to love
it simply meant that
I must learn to
love myself in aloneness
learning to be happy
absent the happiness that
someone else gives me
Wisdom said that love
isn’t meant to fill
but rather to find
a cup that is
already filled adding more
and making it overflow
love is then abundance
for an empty cup
can never be filled
Let’sBeLovers
The high temperature
in Denver today
won’t be above
freezing so let’s
you and I
stay right here
warm and snuggly
except to dash
into other rooms
to retrieve provisions
and scamper back
behaving just like
animals and birds
let us today
together forget about
being people and
instead silly lovers
