Smiles

How many smiles have you been given in your lifetime?

Think of them as Joy seeds,

Remember them and they grow,

And bloom.

How many smiles have you planted ?

He poured Himself into my lap,

And I poured out my heart.

Carpenters

Posted on September 8, 2018 by eteal

All you seem to do is destroy,

Eating your way through fence and beam…

Yet, you are called a carpenter ant,

What are you building?

Mooch

Posted on September 7, 2018 by eteal

You live here,

Rent free,

Taking my stuff…

Shredding paper and sock….

What more do you want?

.

Your Heart.

Oh that?

You stole that long ago,

Never gonna let you go!

Me either.

Swift

She ran Her own race,

Through a field of purple flowers.

Running to Her own beautiful rhythms,

listening to Her heart.

The littlest cat

When missing

When the largest dog came to call.

.

Two days passed.

.

And then,

I looked up,

And there under the eaves on the roof of the porch

Perched

The littlest cat.

.

Gentle calls, and a tin of food

And she was inside again.

.

A reminder,

Look up!

Come down.

Eat.

Green

Posted on September 3, 2018 by eteal

The branches on the lemon tree are green.

The lemons are green.

The leaves are ever.

.

A young anole, green,

Stopped on the branch for a brief conversation

With a small green caterpillar….

You are not my food,

You are not my food!

.

The world is new and ripening,

The world is ever green.

Soft

The gentle bear snoozed softly by my feet.

What, she’s a dog, you say?

You did not see her eat berries today!

Jump

Posted on September 1, 2018 by eteal

I opened the lid to the trash;

The startled the occupants leapt everywhere.

One brave enlightened soul simply sat on the rim,

For I was not a threat,

Just a surprise!

.

May your days be filled with unexpected joys

And tiny helpers teaching you

The arts of transformation and balance.
