As Sun rose
In the east
It darned
A web of light upon
The leaves,
And sprinkled gold on
Spiders’ orbs
That dangled from
The eaves.
The artist watched the dawn
And breathed.
For though her heart
Believed,
She knew her fingers
Do not have the skill
To tessellate this wonder
Into the mosaic that
Her soul
Perceived.

Rise to seek the freedom
In the air above the
Obstacle.
Find clearing that will give you
Path to pass
Beyond
The fence.
Learn the code that holds
The keys to better
Places.
Then you can let worries of
Shattered spaces
Lift,
And release the latch from fear
To what will let you
Step openly
Away.

Blow gently into the embers
Of
Your dreams.
So the quiet flames
Of what you’d always wished
And perhaps did not know how
To do
Can lick them into hope
Anew.

Make time to write.
A moment. A minute. An hour. A day.
Whatever you can find.
Make it yours.
Have your say.

Go higher!
Almost there,
Almost there!”
Garden Gnome,
Will inspire
Every bug
On stem’s stair.

Put you best foot
Forward,
No matter what your size
Or tread.
Put your best foot
Forward,
Let no one fill your soul
With dread.
Put your best foot
Forward,
And follow both your heart
And head.
Put your best foot
Forward,
So you can find your path
Ahead.

Take your time
As you climb.
Hold the rail.
Breathe in. Exhale.
On the stair way
Of life
Steps of joy
Steps of strife.
Both the rise
And descent
Are energies
Quite well spent,
As long as your heart
Can extend
To see a tad
‘Round the bend.

How does time spiral on itself
Even as it unfolds to expand
Outwards?
How do the faces that your mind recalls
Rekindle scenes that take you
Backwards?
And how do those refill your hand
With all of what you’re working
Towards?
Maybe it is all as it should
As long as tender hearts reflect their kindness
Onwards.

Eyes drawn up
To the height
To wingtips
In mid flight.
Lids squint at
The unseen:
What gift will
This stork
Bring?

It is all as it should be
It is all as it ought
Whether we at the moment realize it
Or not.
When the time seems unripe
Let yourself
Be assured:
What may seem incomplete
Or half-prepared to endure
Is nonetheless just
Perfectly premature.
