It’s the excitement of
Starting something new
Tantalizing me with words
Poetically in clarity or not
Love politics grief spirituality
Forgiveness and deceit
These are a few of my
Topics to read perpetuated
By the breathing in & out thing
Writing scribbling masterfully
Meaning my emotions into
Words on paper or an electronic
Screen you will find me close
Even when I’m only two thousand
Six hundred and twenty eight
Miles away from you now
Let’s not get too carried away
By the possibilities as I
Pre imagine the moments
Spent creating with fellow
Plant lovers on the farm I see
The ideas floating up held
Higher and higher into the
Future where we cannot touch
Where we cannot even reach
To feel the beginnings of what
Started the plight of excitement
Holding on too tightly we will
Never let it go and never
Watch it grow but letting go
Too easily we will never know
How to get back to the base
Respect the space where the
Seed grew up from when the
Whole idea entirely was to
Share a cup of tea with you

Have Some

I’m good at keeping alive
Good at overprotecting myself
Does it keep away all the pain
Debatable but still rises up
Or possibly makes for better days
With the sun or the grays
Couldn’t stand up for me
So I stood up for myself
It happens that way sometimes
Feeling taller these days
Less smaller these days
Funny how we all still live here
Positioned on the same rock
Circling the same system
Solar powered or otherwise
Some of us never see each other
I remember the time when
We fought for the same things
Fall brings new beginnings
I like a fresh start…
Especially with tea…
Perhaps one day we’ll have some

Cup of Tea

I want it to last
But it feels like
It will end
I want it to last
But I can feel
It closing in
Hopelessness
Forgiveness
Slippery perfection
I want it to last
But it feels like
It will end
Candles burning
Outer space
Is next door
When I know
The end begins
One chord
Two chords
Three wheelhouses in
We can stand under
The light
Even though it’s
Going to end
For as long
As you like
One cube
Two cubes
Three sugars in
Cup of tea with me now
Even though it’s
Going to end
We can have
Time at the beach
On the boardwalk
In the moonlight
Watch the sun descend
Out of our reach
At sunset
Tick toc
I see the clock
Turning and
Clicking till the end
Along the way
It won’t be long now
Before the miracle
Will end
Let’s enjoy this moment now
For as long as
We can
