It does not always work to take
A seat
Head on.
Sometimes the best way
Is
To come at it
As if you’d really meant to move
Along.

Marble walls in carved glory
Hold
A marvel,
Home
For words
No longer
Kept
Small
But shared
With all.
Note: This fantastic photo was taken by my talented friend Inge Vandormael, at the New York Public Library building on 42nd Street and Fifth Avenue. Click here for some of history.

The rough cut
Will conform
Tree to log by
Saw and hew,
So it merges
With others
To build shelter
For you.

I watched its solitary fly by
And wondered if it felt
Lonesome for the many it had once
Belonged to
Yet left,
Or if it was a scout,
Holding a memory of a long-ago-known
Place to land
That others had forgotten
Or had misplaced the
Sense of.
Will it circle back to its own,
Flapping on the wing
In fatigued relief,
To let the rest know
It had found this night’s
Home?

As the shadows lengthened
At the end of day,
She paused,
Reflecting,
On the direction
Of her way.

At the edge of the
Down Under
Where water angles
Into sea,
There’s an old pool
Where you safely
Hold the sharks at bay,
And be.

“You can do it!
Go higher!
Almost there,
Almost there!”
Garden Gnome,
Will inspire
Every bug
On stem’s stair.

The weight of the world
On his shoulders.
His heart thumps a fatigue
In his chest.
Eons stretch
Since certain with brawn
He sought
With his strength
To impress.

It cracks the rock and pushes forth
To skies that swirl in
Matching froth.

May there be a home
Inside this house,
Where the strength
And flexibility
Of bamboo
Is proffered,
As basis for the rapid
Steady growth
Love offers.
