Where I Hear Best

Grant me an ocean
A sea
A lake
A pond
A river
A fountain
Lend me a coin
I’ll wish to stay swimming

This Haiku: All The Minutes

Regardless of if
it’s my friend or my foe, I
must make peace in it.

Start with a simple
hello. Inhale. Exhale. Smile.
End deeply in love.

Always at breakfast
Let’s look down at our instep
And see perfection

Our hearts leap and spy
On the floor, near the table
The blessed red capes

I the child
I the mother
I the wild
I the struggler

Don’t project
Yourself onto me
I will be
What I’m meant to be

I the fire
You the ember
I love deeply
You.

All night the candle
Burned bright, flickering, hoping
For tea in the morn’

Don’t you dare duck out
Before eternity’s done
These paths beg our hands

There’s a lush green place
Inside each of us, there is
That gives and receives

Bird Two said, “Bird One,
yes -let’s have This with our That.
You fine, feathered friend.”

Each Day, you gift me.
Each day, I’ll honor you. I’ll
look you in your eyes.
