'The Ego'


'The Ego'
  
  That crippled bird  
 Who yearns to fly....
No matter what the cost..
Sucking strength from others...
Just so it won't feel lost....
And covers all its ill intent...
With sugar-coated lies...
How sad to see how awkwardly it flies.

To avoid criticism..say nothing. ...do nothing........be nothing.

'Mother Nature'


'Mother Nature'


Come visit me

When you are sad and lonely...

For I will understand...

I will cry for you with raindrops

Dry your tears with breeze so gentle

Warm you with bright sunshine...

As you lie in meadow soft

Feel the earth refresh your spirit.

Those flowers are my gift to you...

In these your saddest hours...

See those clouds up in the sky?

They float away with all your cares 

To join with others... thunder storms to make...

Where all your pain shall then be told

With rumbles loud and deep and blasts so fierce

 With lightning exclamation points!

Afterward a rainbow shall appear...

Assuaging your sorrow

Colored ribbons....all to tie

 The greatest gift...

"Tomorrow"

'Death is but a Dance'

'Death is but a Dance'


We are all but a breath away

From Death.

Yet we worry about it deny it or ignore it.

and think that will change things.

We are all so backward about death.

Everything will and does change

Day by day...minute by minute

There is no stopping it.

Our fear or denial is what is in our way.

Death...like all God created is necessary.

If vegetation didn't die...

what would nurture the new seedlings?

If death did not exist...

life would be intolerable for many.

Of course we miss our loved ones.

That is selfish...for they are in a better place.

If we celebrate the dance in their honor

Our pain would dissipate

We are selfish in many ways.

Death is just one of them.

It isn't about us

It is about all of us.

If we didn't have pain...we wouldn't be alive.

Robots don't feel pain.

Pain and change is a part of our privilege

To be visitors on this planet.

Would you just want to be a

 scarecrow In this beautiful garden?

Does a scarecrow see or feel

 the beauty around it?

Does it smile when it sees a bird fly away?

Does its nose tickle when a butterfly lands on it?

Let us together ...do the dance of life...

rejoice in what comes our way...be happy for others...

Let them go when God calls...

For He has a plan much bigger than we could ever conceive.

Let us dance with joyful hearts

As our loved ones journey forward.

'The Trip'

'The 'Trip'

We all know we are going

But few want to think about it.

I have my bag

All packed and ready.

For I cannot leave behind

The notes of love

and special Photos.

My favorite book

and amethyst stone.

The smiles I gathered

The warm handshakes

The acorn a squirrel left

just for me.

The worn out gloves I use

to tend my flowers.

My first kiss wrapped in velvet.

The sparkle I have seen

in precious eyes.

The loving deeds done just for me.

The tears of Joy in crystal vials.

Laughter spun into colorful silks

Birch bark with a heart engraved

Initials saved.

My first valentine.

My favorite doll.

My Black labrador's collar.

A CD with all my favorite songs

Optimism

Love

Expectations

God won't check my bag

When the gate swings open.

He knows what I have in there.
