baby snakes

the baby snake ate

the worm.

baby snake

they were almost the same size,

now one was inside the other,

like an arm inside a sleeve.

we can not judge.

we are all food,

if only food for thought.

Surrender

oreo surrender

to surrender is not to give up –

it is to let go,

it is to trust.

Heroes

The hero rescues the cardinal,

and my heart at the same time.

rescued cardinal simple

we all need daily salvations,

more than we need near death experiences!

grounded

feet on grass,

feet on wood,

feet on cement,

feet on paper –

poodle paw

feet on sofa,

head on lap,

paws in my heart..

teaching me to stay grounded,

we learn to walk together.

friends along the path

we all walk our own paths,

frog on toe in sandal

but sometimes,

along the way,

you find

you are joined by a friend.

somedays they call me.

it is time

to

fly.

* as they have no need for written language, all spellings are interpretive…..and all meanings imaginative — which never-the-less does not negate their truth.

recycle bin

in the bin, a face peers out –

hoping for some cans of beans,

perhaps some more cat food tins, if you please –

baby opossum

i am not some kind of rat –

but what if i was-

be kind with that

Don’t make a fuss!

be kind to each and all of us!

Rainstorm

May your nest be warm and dry,

rainstorm nest

and may all storms pass over quickly.
