Strung as intermissions
Wrong clothes
Wrong words
Wrong chewing
Toothpick, fingers
Wrong flowers and gifts
The awkward etiquette

Blithe spirit travels on the sunbeam
On ten thousand dust particles
Transports to a mysterious destination
Open mouth - inhales
Enraptured, captured by the spirit "Why now - why me?"

I fling open the window
To let the cool, clean air in
Or the stifling, stale air out
Sometimes the brisk draft is uncomfortable
Depending on which way the wind blows
I squirm, I smile, I grimace
Each breeze against my skin

There isn't a silent second
That adds up to
A silent minute
Which adds up to be a noisy hour
And a fantastic, symphonic
Colorful
Spectacular day
The soundless second hand glides
Into the hours of my day

Some monkeys hang so upside-down by tail
And fly from branch to branch as if to hail
Free-spirited, enthusiastic with their kind
Oblivious to other monkey tribes so blind…

Come, come and see
Coyote, and jackrabbit, black bird
Do come with me as joyful hand in hand we wander
Let’s hike the gorgeous rocky brown mountain roads
Sit on gray rock on the banks of the bubbling brook
The music of the rippling, roaring rush

There is the constant, warm

In small shapes I see
Hues reflected against the clouds
Cool pinks, shades, variations

Never took time
To watch birds building nests
Too busy – school, work
One Spring I did
I left one world behind
Patiently – curiously
Each day into the woods
Watched as twigs, branches, added
To the nest by instinct and great labor

Until all fades

While here in my meditation center
Introspective, at turbulent peace

Fresh out of the crystal blue aquamarine fluid
Clean as a water rat
Scrambling for dry sand
What awaits?
Whom will I hug and kiss?
Whom will I miss?

This blessed day is mine
To choose as I wish to do
Where is my beauty?

Jetsetters spend much time in the air
