Today is
for celebrating
our blessings
with friends and
family near or far, with
laughter and good food
but this day
isn’t the only
time to show
gratitude
each sunrise provides a new
opportunity

traveling
they wander with grace
cautiously
ears alert
grazing occasionally
complaints unfounded
they were first
time buyers in the
neighborhood
changing times
head-on, they meet their demise
one more point for man

Energy
level heightened with
red letters
bringing the
theater into full view
mezzanine magic
parody
entertainment for
three levels
of smiling
ticket holders – laughter is
the best medicine

He pulls me
into myself so
I may see
qualities
he loved from the beginning
though his perception
runs deeper –
mine, a hint of clouds
then he lifts
my heart and
soul to the brilliant sky where
our dreams become us

Visions from
yesteryear struggle
to remain
paramount
descending farther into
anonymity
Is it right
to lighten the grip?
dilemma
a moment
to weigh varied directions
path free of error

a bundle
of ribbons and bows
floats in a
safety net
until illumination
ten fingers, ten toes
middle-aged
yet, too young to leave
infant eyes
rosebud lips
will miss her loving presence
wheel of life rotates

escaping the noise
watching nature’s performance
silence for the soul

(I decided to pull some Tranquility
from the archives. Hope you enjoy,
and I wish you all a peaceful Friday
and weekend.)
She tended
to their elegance
her babies
in a sense
they breathed in her tender touch
they miss her presence
