Ornaments given
memories received
all mine
hung somewhere
on someone
else’s tree
bringing peace
ornaments are
like little
crystal balls
conjuring up
dreams fantasies
and hope
for a
better world
they never
grow old
just those
who gaze
upon them
they do

TicksClicks&Such
Ticks clicks
and such
these moments
these seconds
often missed
and mistakened
mean more
to me
than any
grand gesture
for they
not those
are my
twinkles seen
notes heard
sighs felt
loves kept
There’sOne
There is
one feeling
that all
creatures understand
to learn
this listen
to children
laugh or
watch dogs
wag or
taste that
one long
awaited favorite
dish this
one simplest
emotion of
all is
just joy
ThatSquirrel
A red squirrel
visits me daily
I feed him
chestnuts wishing to
keep him around
it’s a squirrel
after all only
one of many
but it’s the
one and the
only one that
comes here comes
closest comes routinely
and this squirrel
has now become
my children and
my grandchildren that
I never had
the great fortune
of watching play
Love#347
Love is
as love
does and
never as
love wants
