Listen!

Posted on April 29, 2014 by eteal

i didn’t mean to fall

asleep in a chair,

just a quick cat nap –

presto an ear!

my heart hears a purr,

i opened my eyes

but all i see is YOU,

telling me to

listen.

sunning

my lizard brain

feels the sun,

and i know i am not alone.

lizards on a park bench

i sit on a park bench

and feel the love.

Their names may not be

Matthew

Mark

or

John

four angels on a bed

but they

bless

the

bed

i dream upon.

sweet dreams.

cup of tea

Posted on April 26, 2014 by eteal

the scent of jasmine and lilies

fills the air –

sweetness in every breath,

poodle and tea cup

a poodle sits expectantly on the sofa,

hoping for a sip of tea

or perhaps to join me in for a cookie?

The smell of spring intoxicate my soul.

sight and sound

Posted on April 26, 2014 by eteal

an owl woke me up.

i dashed outside to see her –

2 trees on rt side

but all i heard was a woodpecker having breakfast

tree on rt side

and i couldn’t see either of them,

for the trees

have

burst

forth

blessings.

oh breathe of life!

shadows in the sun

Posted on April 22, 2014 by eteal

i looked down on the floor,

the window is etched onto the tile with light,

beside my chair

 a small dog is basking in a square of sun.

oreo in the sunlight

his head in the light

his body in the dark.

oh, we are so much the same………

Appearances

Posted on April 21, 2014 by eteal

they say that when the student is ready,

the teacher will appear.

bunny with rabbit teacher

but i do not think that is so —

the teacher is always present,

it is i who have to open my eyes

and ears.
