Gauge

Settling into myself
Such a strange sensation
To be genuinely happy
Not over concerned
Enjoy the moment
Oh of what we’ve created
Lived up to and
What we’ve done!
When do we realize
And step back
Take a deep breath
And enjoy everything
That we are?
Will life surpass us
Before it’s too late?
Fall out of the tree
Of expectations everyone
Has been growing
For you with
Conference calls and
Calendars just a
Basic phone call
Where our personalities
Intertwined and there
Is no evidence that
It ever took place
No record kept
Except for
You and me
No second guessing

Ponder

Clarity versus mystery
Clearness versus true belief

The line that separates
Is the line that magnetizes
Love, hate, peace, war

What is logic and emotion
If we think before we think
Without thinking about it at all

Will mystery moot its discovery
Arriving in an absent need?

What mystery is depending on science
What science is depending on God?

And in one fell swoop
An ultimate acknowledgment
What is a mystery if it cannot be found?

Trying

Rapscallion
It’s too bad
She stepped
Between us
Wrong partner
Right effort
Many efforts
Dancing with
Yellow hair
Every color
Every shade of love
Every altitude
Up against the world
And our own
Personal Ursula
Keys to our
Own hearts
Swallowed by
An unexpected
Attractive and
Mysterious gate keeper
Traveled a long way
To get here
Through old friendships
And new experiences
Different titles
Different roles
Every possible
Star in the sky
Has looked down
Upon our eyes
And witnessed
Our possibilities
Thank you for
Fighting and
Thank you for
Trying

Lull

Closely related finches
On a grandeur scale
Of measure
Separate
We are not so
Willing but
If then swilling
We are finches
With a central
Focus from and in
Our best nests
Made of hair
Fur and leaves
Used for twisting
Measuring the
Flavor of our spirits
Singing we
Color a contract
Crayons of truth
Beaks crossbills
In outflow
A likeness
A prelude
And a dance
To intervening
The art of
Teaching
Learning there is
No fear of reaching
Rich and varied
Horizons
Ready to fly
Triangular
Very quiet
We are finches
In the sky
