Return
Posted on: January 5, 2023
Winding the corner to a widening perspective
Pinholes of light in darkened peripheral
Tears cascade crumbles of forgotten mud in cracked awakening smiles
Sinew stretches, relaxes, settles
Heartbeat steadies
Breath even
Return to peace if even just a moment
Before turned upside down again
This dance of fate and chance held in arms’ will
A cacophony of wonders running the gamut of emotions
If life be a symphony play on-til no more chords echo in the twists and turns of the marrow of my bones
X-MAS

Ribbons and bows
Joys replace woes
Suspended strife
Focus on glories of life
Hearts as full as bellies
Smiles as warm as hearths
Silent union across Earth
As we bow our heads
Lift our souls
And give thanks
Blessed rest
Ready to open the door for more…of whatever 2023 may be

The window remains
The pane the same
But the view has changed along with her name
What began as a dance now a steadfast stance
Took a chance on romance
Its roots dug deep-grew a child, birthed a family-beautiful fruits of labor
From girl to woman, lover, partner, mother
Not yet old, but feeling time begin to fold
Living in the chasm’s interim
Laughter, tears, worry, joy, fears
Emotions once shuffled like toys, then questioned as ploys, now simply a fluid way of life
Surfing some, wading others
Toe dips, deep plunges, lazy breaths on sunny rocks, gasping for air between undulating knocks
Rhythmic flow in the zone
Alternately joyous, wondering, terrified, and thrown
Blissful sail of peace gives them all momentum, meaning-to a common centered place, a safe space
Home
Home is where the heart is
Maybe home is the heart
When nearer to the end where does one begin and the other end?
Traveler
Posted on: December 7, 2022
Time a tapered ticket taker on the platform of never ending travel
Soul weary or taking flight
Another midnight journey-frightened delight
Wanting only to be near a friend…or the end
Stop on the tracks
Look at the mountains rolling back
Get off and run naked through the blanketed grass-feeling the blades tickle your ass
Laugh without worry or care
Be all that you dare
Stare down the walls-obstacles in disguise-really just opportunities to rise
Travel alone together
Occasionally, or on the regular
Here, there, or anywhere
Just Travel.

I keep his picture clear before me on my desk to see every day. His back turned in free, unfiltered movement-not to exclude, but to explore. A constant reminder for me to hold the space for him, while simultaneously letting him discover his own way. Parenting- the ultimate paradox, a challenging reward of investing so much with no guarantee of return…will the foundation you laid continue to solidify their steps, or will life (and their choices) create cracks upon which they stumble and fall? More importantly, did you prepare them to get up, and continue in faith and trust amidst all the soft and hardened ground? What will you be privy to in their deepest thoughts and experiences, and what will be kept from you, whether or not it should be?
A deeper space in my heart lit up when he was born, one I never knew existed, and one that can now never be extinguished. All I can do, all any of us mothers can do, is accomplish the impossible feat of being a revolving door of security, love, boundaries, and freedom…to always be there as they come and go, with one arm extended to catch, embrace and hold, and the other open wide to let them go out again on the other side.
Life

Loving
Longing
Being believing
Doubting questioning
Free fall Faith
Birth to death
Breath between
We smile as easily as frown until we realize there is no crown, or competition to rule
You are your own sovereign, infusing life with merriment, meaning, or strife
A blink and it’s done just as it’s begun…heart full of laughter, knowing, and questions-deepened exposed, yet still mystery unfolds
Will it end, or eternally bend in a loop of souls-wondrous creation, elation, mind boggling ethereal ascension
A life is grown as much from the unknown as what is certain
We are born to live, love, learn & grow…enjoy and die-to be reborn again
For what or when only Spirit knows and with it all grows and glows

Clandestine ego poking through the rubble

Dripper

Tap tap
Dribble drop
Tears leaking from tightened spout
Wringing wrenching stripped not sealed
Watching waiting
Daring to be present
Unknown route
Praying hoping
Inhalation clear or polluted
Just keep breathing believing
Octopus arms cup
Overflowing waterfall pocket in an otherwise barren field
What will it yield
A guttural laugh starting low and uncertain
Relishing in its barrel curl ascension
Soul drum solo like an envelope sealed
Skirting edges peeks within
Writing regardless of who reads
Page marries hand
Inked ward
Eternal offspring
Time Shades

Lines appear where once there were none
Leading from whence you’ve come
Going, going gone
Eyes and lips of bird prints
Smiling feet from every beat
Ice cream hips
Belly laughs and moans
Paths taken or not yet sewn
Creating a story whilst watching it unfold
Together we rise often alone we fall
Always the hand of God’s invisible reassurance
Faith in the unseen houses wisdom of all it really means
Gratitude an attitude of hope rather than acceptance
Joyous honor-a chance to participate in the dance
Mutual exchange of birthing sun for ebbing shade
To fade to be remade
My Love
Posted on: November 10, 2022
My Love holds me still
Anchored in certainty
Leaving no stone of doubt unturned
Digging deeper than footprints in the receding sand
Even if it lasts only as long, worth it to taste the salt, feel the cooling spray
To know the paradoxical joy of floating with faith’s anchor after being knocked head over heels in wonder
