The less that I
Insist that I am
The more that others
Show up the more
That I abandon what
I think and cross
Over to their side
And think a moment
Their way life opens
Like late winter daffodils
Stop being what you
Think that you are
And rather be who
They are looking for
Over there not here
Just like those crazy
Silly late winter flowers

Happeness
Knowing where one belongs
Is different from knowing
Ones place admitting what
Makes one sing is
More important than being
Able to sing being
Comfortable with nearly nothing
Is oftentimes calmer than
Seeking everything happiness should
Be spelt happeness for
I have found my
Greatest happiness when things
That make me happiest
Naturally quietly simply happen
ShinyPennies
I’m no longer afraid
Or angry oh yes
I retreated into myself
When like a turtle
I’d been touched too
Often by unfamiliar hands
But now time passed
And out I come
No longer wishing to
Impress but be impressed
Like a tarnished penny
Full of glee at
The sight of newly
Minted and shiny pennies
Oh aren’t they beautiful
Resolution
Here is my
New Year’s resolution
I promise myself
I will have
Peace love affection
Respect kindness compassion
Wit sarcasm frivolity
With whomever I
Ever do encounter
And that will
Bring us joy
And will bring
Us forever closer
And never apart
LeavingThings
I leave things behind
I do admit that
So so many things
So many in fact
That people become things
Too it’s not that
I wish to or
Want to or even
That I need to
I just do I
Guess because leaving things
All of these things
That I leave behind
Is because they belong
Where I found them
And frankly they’re not
Mine to take anywhere
I leave them there
Letting others find them
Just like I did
