Unfinished

Lost in a daydream's song
Lost on the wing of a sparrow
Gone into the wild wind
Gone across the path I follow

Deeply frowning against the weight
Deeply feeling the need to release
Softly praying the wing knows where
Softly hoping the tall oak sees

Heron's Sun Prayer

We are a reflection
A reflection of one another
Wherever you go
I go
Wherever I go
You may follow
We will go there together

on the swaying sea

the loss of a friend i fear
the day is drawing near
gusting wind brought headlines
big and bold – distinctive, glaring signs
solitary heart at the end of day’s rainy pier
grey and cold, taken by a mourner’s tear
envied faith lost in trying times
despairing waves - ebbing declines
swelling into hidden reef with water's unclear
sorrow, drowned in weeping moans you cannot hear
the seeking captain's soul, direction unknown
compass-less against the winds lustful groan
the loss of a friend i fear
that day is all too near

Emerson said:

"All life is an experiment."
I said:
We love, we live we laugh we hurt.  And then, we can do it all over again.

A mouse in a cupboard house, named tia maria
lived in a shoe the color of blue
oh and the carrots and beets she would eat -
you simply can't beat such a treat 

sitting upon a shoestring seat!
For frolicking fun, to laugh with the sun,
out of her baby blue shoe, tia maria would doodidillydoo
with a silly "hoo-dilly-hoo"
and up in the air, sweet, startled Doreelou flew!
So scared of someone so small,
with a shout and a call, up the wall
All of Doreelou did fall.
This naughty mouse in a house
knew just what to do

to scare poor, sweet

little Doreelou quite through.
And, that twirl of a girl never knew
where her lost blue shoe tossed to.

Learn the art of the half-smile. Find peace.

And so must we all

The dusty butterfly died.
Gone are the days of her safe cocoon
wrapped in the warm sun of early Spring
thawing Winter's dreary thoughts, ice white.
Into the rich green and through Summer's hot red heat
Wings discontented yet full of blue reflections of
Garden's love, draping the air
with each kissing thrust
Weighed down, but burdened no more
Dead in the flightless dreams
of crackling Autumn leaves.
