Winds of Change

Winds of changeBlowing…Like a leaf blower.Or a hurricane.Move.Settle.Move again.Right.Wrong.Indifferent.Everything’s moving.Everything’s different.Certainty disappearing in a flurry.Maybe never was to begin.Illusions.Intrusions.Delusions.But the forest speaks the truth.The forest heals.The forest settles.Grounds.Even as the branches shake. Winds of Change Series - Heal, Blowing, Flurry (Acrylic, citronella and cedar incense ash and forest fallings during the New Moon in Virgo,... Continue Reading →

Two Years Free

I sit with gratitude.I can hear myself think.The beautiful knowledge:I don’t need to drink.Not even “need,”I prefer it this way.Life’s so much better.(It surprises me to say.)I couldn’t have imaginedA life without booze.I certainly wouldn’t thinkIt’d be something I’d choose.I thought it would meanThat I’d lose my shimmer.That life without alcoholWould somehow be dimmer.But what...

New York Imagined

What happens to the dreams and callings we let lapse?The ones we walk away from?What do they do once we’ve turned our backs?Do they go on and live in someone else’s mind?Or do they pause,And wait…For you to, maybe, rewind?These streets, so familiar.Yet so foreign too.Like a dream I intuitively know…But can’t quite put my...

Morning Moon

Sometimes when I’ve been up all night,The morning moon meets me at first light.She stuck around as if to say,“Appreciate this glorious day.”Mirrored by water tranquil below,Holding truths that deep down I know.Full and round and luminous,Presence confirming no need to rush.Gentle, quiet and gracefully calm,The morning moon, my worries’ balm.

The Difference of a Year

I’ve seen the shift a minute makesFor lifetimes, maybe more.The way the ever temp’ring tideBrings change upon the shore.The movement of a grain of sandExponential, collective, in time.Sand slips through the hourglass,While we’re gifted with the sublime.It’s always there for us to see.To feel and breathe and taste.But amidst the world‘s abundance,We miss it in...

The Wreckage

Desert hills rising,Like beacons.Wide open spaces.Nowhere to hide.Lizards sunning scaly skin,Like mine after all these years…Skitter away,With a sudden start.The fall of my feet,Upsetting the balance. With each arid breeze,The landscape is forever changed.The grains of sand,Displaced.The Princess and the Pea.You feel it…Before you know it…But it is happ’ning all the while.What is leftThrives in...

Look Up

Endless alley, at times, this path of ours.Banana peel, oil stains, cigarette butts by the bin.And on we go. We walk on.Styrofoam plates. Broken beer bottle.Danger borne of careless moments in time.Look caref’ly down. Step around.It feels gritty. It feels raw.The shadow side of perfect store fronts.We question. We fear. We go on.But, look up.... Continue Reading →

Unfinished

That cup of tea, long grown cold.The scone, I shared it with.That labor of love, so many details.The few last, traded for peace.Those big plans to tidy up,Abandoned for practical things.Those few lines of something yet to be,A note to my future self.My work each night before I rest.The laugh I shared with a friend.That...

Too Much to Dream

I had too much to dream tonight.It woke me with a start.I dreamed I could lead a richer lifeAnd somehow make it art. All the possibilities,Future selves galore.Bursting in their fullness,Alive in technicolor. Like roses abloom in springtime,So many resplendent hues.Petals alight and turned towards sun,Not at all subdued. Dreams float free of timeAnd other... Continue Reading →

The Year

The year passed by and we never knewThat, with each day, we were changing too.Slowly sometimes, and through leaps and bounds.At times, subtle, yet in all profound.Who we are. Who we were. Who we’re going to be.Where it will take us, we’ll just have to see.But do not merely wait, you must take charge.Be bold.... Continue Reading →
