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

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
