Normalcy

through this veil of gray
a refuge in the sunflower –
hints of normalcy

Crippling Gray

lay me down to heal

till this crippling gray stills –

a regard for spring

sparks first tweet from window sills

no more will this sting endure

everything in time

This Storm

raindrops on tin roof

is my calm within a storm

a soothing rhythm

ceases to calm in this storm –

wayward, unsettling times

This Uproar

this uproar

refuses to be hemmed in

nothing is even

in its wake

fallen norms

Aspirations

There was harmony in the park this morning. No swooping seagulls. No squirrel on the run with snarky birds in hot pursuit. There was no huge butterfly skewered in the beak of a tiny bird. Everyone was getting along!

Imagine that!!

 

aspirations

collide with reality –

contentious restart

A Rainbow

this cloud lurking overhead
has claimed me
it snuggles in
displacing the thread of hope
I’ve been holding fast to
it flits in the breeze of the blues
swishing through my fingers
at every grasp

I force myself into the garden
it looks thirsty
I turn on the garden hose
and there through the fine sprays
a rainbow

Gratitude

I’m grateful for life and breath

as I greet each new day

I know it wasn’t promised

Morning

a slow dance

in a gentle breeze –

the flower celebrates morning
