MorningsFirework

It’s morning when

The suns shallow

Rays ignite the

Tree tops making

Them explode with

Greens and yellows

And browns like

Fireworks against a

White-wispy blue backdrop

Even the birds

Utter sweet soft

Oooos and ahhhhs

Here in Charlotte

Bump

I often wonder

If the fish

In the sea

Bump into each

Other while swimming

In the currents

Or is that

Something humans do

If so I’m

Lucky that we

Aren’t fish for

Bumping into you

Was simply humankindness

PresentFound

You are a

Birthday present that

I discovered nestled

In a closet

Surprised and tempted

I don’t take

But simply touch

And wonder what

Wonderful gift sits

Inside daily I

Peer in knowing

That one day

Soon I will

Unwrap you having

You then forever

More as mine

HelloGoodbye (for Fred)

I never knew

Your dad and

Now that he’s

Gone I never

Will but I

Can promise you

This if he

Made such a

Marvelous man like

You he must’ve

Been even more

Marvelous please say

Both my hello

And goodbye to

Him for me

GiveMeSpring

I have discovered

That I live

My love in

Springtime fresh blossoms

And fields of

Wildflowers ripe for

The picking my

Heart sings then

I’m not made

For the dryness

Of summer nor

Fall’s end nor

Winters deadly grip

Give me spring

When love pops

Tickling me daily

Let me smell

The sweetness of

Nectar and drink

From cool ponds

You can have

The other seasons

Give me spring
