“The fact of being
Who or what
A person
Or thing
Is.”
A name.
A self.
A singularity.
A distinct
Individuality.
A recognition of
An original
Personality.

You are never too old
To grab hold
To get trim.
Give a hearty old
Swing
On an oddly
Abandoned
Neighborhood
Jungle gym.

At the turn of seasons
As days give in to added night
And cool air infiltrates
The warmth of sun,
A leaf’s goodbye.

It was a few minutes before dinner.
He wanted a cookie.
His mother said the timing wasn’t great. He’ll have to wait. Can get one for dessert.
He frowned. His lips turned down in a pout but puckered in consideration as his eyes inspected the contents of the transparent cookie jar.
“But maybe I can taste it now,” he bargained. “Just a teeny tiny cookie, like this,” he pointed to a broken piece at the bottom of the jar. “You see, Mama? Just a little bit of crumbs …”

Recreate not what shouldn’t have happened
Yet had
But what should have taken place
And hadn’t
Or not quite as planned,
The seeds of which
Hold promise
To what may truly be
Worth recreating
When time
Once more
Comes around.

May the taste of life’s adventures
Be as varied
And as flavorful
As its promises,
And may sweet embellishments
Prove to be
A lot more than
Simply icing.

There is little more dear
Than a dappled fawn
And enamored
Small child
Gently curled
In deer hug.

Seek not acclaim
But accord
Not praise
But partaking
Not applause
But appraisal
Not homage
But homecoming.

Lighted path (Photo credit: unknown)
There’s ennobled a path
For each person
Who strives
To live life
Reverently enough
To keep all
Dignified.

Be at home
In the world.
In the spaces
Between
Here
And now
All the past times
And futures
To come.
Be at home
In your soul.
Let it inhabit
Your all
Let it welcome
You
Home.
