Harbingers of feast
Or famine
Inhabitants
Of all
But the Antarctic ice,
These carriers of fire
From the gods to land,
Teach city folk
And country dwellers
That one can make a home,
Find plenty,
All around.

There’s a crease in my memories.
An obscure line
Of thoughts.
There’s a wrinkle along
The predictable
Plot.
I’ve accumulated crinkles
And crimps
And what not.
It is fine
As it is.
It is what
It need be.
All those furrows and folds
Are what makes me
Be me.

It is in your grasp
To take hold
To absorb
Offered light
Life’s rewrite.
It’s within your soul
To recall
To be bold
In the hollowed out space
Of your mind
To breathe deep
To grow whole.

When life turns back onto itself
When flow seems stalled
Or slogs to mud
Hope still remains
A promise curled in gathered clouds
For though they hide the current sun
They still meander
Toward a future
Of fertile streams
To guard.

“And suddenly,” she said,
“Life is not simple anymore.
Or was it never
And I just did not seem
To know?”

Weave the fabric
Of your life.
Reshape
Reuse
The warp,
The woof.
Line up
Soft hues
In the
Foundation
You call
Home.

A thought
A hint
An intuition.
A tell
A clue
A premonition.
A small unfolding
Of suspicion.
Time to foresee
Future
Contrition.

In every day
There’s room for
Gentle lectures
About living.
No scolding.
No critic.
Just a voice
To give
Some space,
A softened claim
To being.

Conjure hope
From odd bits
Of despair.
Recall the magic
Of compassion
Summoned from thin air.
Remember how small light
Brightens
Everywhere.

There is magic
In remaining
A bit
Stumped
By life.
Bewilderment may well
Reverberate
The strings of
Myth
Enough to generate
A perch for
Understanding.
