I stand still
I feel Monday’s soft face
Lightly caress my left shoulder
Most cherished part
Most important here and now.

Leaving
The way we talk about leaving,
Even as parts of us we uproot
Keep growing back underground.
Once rooted, always rooted.
Beholder
The way
The soft green room
(remembered)
Lights up
As we held each other,
Your beholder.
Far Out
It occurs to me it
Is the ability to be
Still, to be totally
Aware of any given
Moment, this is
Poetry–far out.
Flower
This young red rose,
It represents all of us
Here. Handle with care!
It is the prettiest flower
We have: Life needs
Love, love needs life.
Sailing
A sailboat offers a unique
Experience on the water.
The sails catch the wind.
There’s no noisy engine,
You just glide silently
Over the water steering
With the wind. The quiet
Experience encourages
Meditation and peace.
No Song
I looked back to where
The sky ended. Some
Days no rain would
Come. Some birds
Didn’t have a song.
Best of Everything
Value is measured in many
Different ways by many
Different people. Things
Have value and nonmaterial
Things have value like
Beliefs and feelings. The
Best of all these is love.
Best Ride Ever
Once I had an opportunity
To ride in a Black Hawk
Helicopter for about two
Hours. I was strapped in
A seat next to an open
Door. The view was really
Spectacular. We were
Looking for equipment
Lost in trees by the troops.
I could have done this all
Day!
The Magician
Our next door neighbor was a
Kindly elderly man who told
Us he was a retired magician.
He would gladly come over
When invited for dinner. And
He would amaze our youngest
Daughter with magic tricks.
One evening he told us this
May be the last time he
Would be able to make it
Over–he had an incurable
Disease and would soon
Perform the ultimate
Disappearing act.
