I Adore January 14 2014

Image

I adore snowflakes.

They tumble down,

slipping into the crevices

of my collar and pant legs,

to be shaken or stomped out

of hiding, as I enter the warmth

of home.

Perhaps they are so lonely or blue

that they are willing to melt away

on the mat before they achieve

the acceptance they seek.

The dog delightedly laps up their essence

from the parquet floor.

Entering Time, Endless. January 12 2014

Image

I grasp in my hands
For a pithy time,
The essence of eternal bliss.

The question comes,
I rue the night,
How can I not exist?

Dare I let it slip away?
I wring my hands
Bewitched.

Will decisions of the here and now
All other regrets
Eclipse?

I clasp my hands, I meditate
On entering time,
Endless.

In Celebration of 80. January 10, 2014

Image

Though age has settled like thistle- down

on her shoulders, I still remember

my mother’s girlish smile,

the softness of her hands as they washed away

the grime of my well -worn day.

Happy 80th Birthday Mom.
