The swallows have been back now for some time.
I assume.
These insignificant friends
Who I wait for every year.
So we can be
Insignificant
Together
Miss you.

The swallows have been back now for some time.
I assume.
These insignificant friends
Who I wait for every year.
So we can be
Insignificant
Together
Miss you.

Of all there is
On earth or above
Such cannot be measured
Than to walk in this beauty
Breathe in its breath
Lifted from the highest mountains
Scooped up
From the depths of the seas
And alas
I am to fear
Not the lion
Nor the claw of the bear
But that which cannot be seen
That, which we know is there.
It’s carried in the wind
And given with a kiss
It is older than time itself
And has had many names
I am crushed by knowledge
My heart aches
To visit your face
How long shall this be?
I am ready to live.

We sailed
Around the world
And found
Up is down
And down is up
Right when you think
You’ve got it down
The jig is up
It was all
Nailed down
But our time was up
We’re told
“Hunker down
For what’s coming up
Y’all stand down
So we can all get up”
All we can do
Is write down
About, what’s up
I hope everyone is safe. Stay healthy.

Remembering. The act of putting relevant values back together. Like being reminded that in the face of adversity or fear, life continues to bring us wonder and beauty.
I haven’t uploaded new work for some time to my print site. Now just seemed an appropriate time.

We found a tear
In the fabric of the living.
Through it
We could feel the breeze of light.
Its warmth seemed genuine enough.
But as much as I flew
The light withdrew.
With each stroke
A little further away.
The masses hurtled by
Frantically saving
What was left
Of tattered wing and tail
Tornadoes grew
Borne of those blindfold efforts.
Ripping apart the weak
Snuffing out the light

I know this seems a little dark. I suppose global events are having some affect on me. However, I am not afraid. This time next year, this will be a memory. Perhaps a new paradigm for coming generations….perhaps not.
Be safe. Watch the sunrise, sunset, be grateful.
Peace to you
