Sunlight drifts on wind
Cool intensity floating
Flowers greet the morn

Soul’s Creation
Journeys create souls
Deepening our deepest depths
First step: send ourselves.
Childhood’s Collapse
Daily decay’s
Raging presence
Death’s fragrance
Fills me deeply.
Then that morning’s
Ragged breathing,
Brutal truth of
Impending silence.
Kites
Air moving with grace
Bright colors dance lightly now
Resisting still air
Terror to Power
Letters assembled
Upon page or bright screen
Terror to power
Compassion
Gentleness descends
Compassion’s greatness saves me
Branches bloom anew
Thanks
My great readership
Creates in me happiness
Delight in sharing
Flowing
Force directing things
Little impedes progress
Thus motion, nearly continuous,
Captures my attention
Pulls me close
I cannot escape the
Pleading gaze
My choices speak
To life’s future
Me.
Compassion’s Call
Compassion’s call loud
At the center of my life
Spring’s gentle rains calm
Achoo!
Pollen’s brutal quest
Tear my sinuses apart
A sniffling mess
Word Shaper
