kindling fires

Posted on June 9, 2014 by eteal

In the shadows, you may feel all is darkness.

if you feel your fire has gone out,

it has not,

presto in the shadows

Everywhere are reminders of Love.

Look gently into someone’s eyes,

let their light rekindle your own.

homes

Posted on June 7, 2014 by eteal

angrily i stormed out of my home,

and there she was,

in my driveway,

walking.

so i followed for a bit.

then she stopped – waiting for me to catch up –

so we could walk together.

and i felt much better.

i walked her home –

to my mulch pile?

Unaware, we make homes for each other,

Aware, we all live together.

( but what do i do with my mulch pile?..

oh wait, not mine anymore, is it…)

i sit and watch,

and you sit and watch.

we are all looking and seeking.

or what you are doing,

some bunny’s always watching…

three bunnies plus one

is it You?

Standing still

Posted on June 3, 2014 by eteal

sirens.

shots fired.

wheels sqweeling.

more sirens start to sound.

heron standing

still i stand

and i am not alone.

we can not see what is trembling the world,

we stand in the stillness of the swamp,

the road seems so far away –

and our path

is in the other direction.

roofs and rain

Posted on June 2, 2014 by eteal

sometimes

when it rains

you just need a roof over your head –

 somedays

you need more…

presto under table in rain

but all you can do is wait

in the pouring rain

until

someone opens a door.

it’s an opposable thumb thing.

luckily, hearts don’t need them…..

pause

the power to pause is in our hands,

hand or foot,

paw or hand –

take a moment to understand.

Wisdom

Posted on May 30, 2014 by eteal

not all who claim wisdom are wise

and not all who collect shiny objects are shallow –

owl and crow

thus do not judge a friend by their feathers,

their hoots or caws,

or lack thereof.
