Lighting strikes
In the night breaking heat
Streaking across the deep
In a split so brief
Revealing a piece of night
Not seen
Since quiet morning light.

Lighting Strikes

Merrily Go Along
August 1, 2013Merrily go along singing the song
Singing along of nothing is right
Nor is it wrong
It’s just a sing along song
Of merrily going along.

One Back To Another
July 31, 2013
One back to another
Mirroring
Echoing the other.
Amazing thing is
This that allows us to be
One to another is
No sacrifice or be nice
Just being no one
But yourself and
Living, existing to see
One back backing up
Another.

A Hummingbird Sings
July 30, 2013A hummingbird hovers making sure its safe
To drink nectar that brings forth
A feeling of heaven’s gate.
A hummingbird’s wings sing as she flies
In between blooms sending scent promising
Just about everything.
A hummingbird’s nest of twigs and things
Babies so small
They are next to nearly nothing.
A hummingbird dodges leaves and flowers
On the hunt of insects nutritious there
Amongst other things.
But you know I don’t think
That I’ve ever heard
A hummingbird sing
Anything.

Let It Begin. Let It End
July 29, 2013Let it begin. Let it end.
I will enjoy the journeys
That I spend
From the begin to the end.

Morning Glory Surely Rides
July 26, 2013Morning glory surely rides
On the tide of morning rise
Sleep was sound
Resting peacefully all around
Now we raise our presence
To the morning sun
Boldly moving in a direction
That will free us in
The morning glory sun.

Fingers Move Across The Page
July 25, 2013Fingers move across the page
Feeling emotions that do rage
Calming down anxious stress
With each word that is expressed.
Yes, fingers make anguish
Dissipate
As they move across
Caressing a waiting page.

The Blog Police Just Came By
July 24, 2013The blog police just came by
They warned me
I had better not ever cry.
What is this?
I did not quiz
Only wanted to reminisce
About the time
The ballon wouldn’t rise.
The blog police
Did just come by
My oh my
I don’t know why.
Guess I better not ever cry.

Memories, Memories
July 23, 2013
Memories, memories
Running thru my head
Memories that I wish would remain dead
Memories, memories come flooding in
Full of heartache and chagrin
Up they come from somewhere
Somewhere profane laughing
Chiding me of what has been
Memories, memories sometimes
Not the best of history that could
Or would have been
Memories, memories that should
Not have been.
Memories, memories wash them away
With happy thoughts of yesterday
Memories, memories.

Sometimes I Write
July 22, 2013Sometimes I write
Sometimes I let it ride.
The blue sky, the green
As far as can be seen
Gives me something
Sometimes.
So sometimes I write
And sometimes
Sometimes I just let it ride.
