Sometimes after a long
Day your voice envelopes
Me like a hot
Bath or warm blanket
Or a flickering candle
Making the wars of
Life disappear I run
To it drag myself
To it accept it
As my reward for
Doing all the things
I’d rather not do

I keep getting distracted
By people or love
I will keep this
Short writing more tomorrow
When one or both
Will blossom or wither
LazyMaySunday
Today has been quiet
A lazy spring day
Filled with sunny windowsills
Comfy pillows on sofas
And cloud bursts that
Left sheets of rain
Sliding down patio doors
And of course us
Watching everything yawning
And turning and forgetting
Those outside things paying
Attention only to this
Lazy Sunday in May
Eclectic
A hodgepodge of things
Thrown together oftentimes haphazardly
But frequently perfectly matched
Like a hearty stew
Or a room full
Of disparate pieces all
Complimenting the other in
Delicate ways the old
And the new blending
Together like loves watercolors
Creating something uniquely stunning
Order rising from chaos
Enlightenment
What is only real
Is what is seen
All else is fantasy
A conjuring of mind
Determining good and bad
In order to survive
In past and future
But simply being present
Living in the now
Requires only the eyes
Accepting what is seen
And declaring it beautiful
