Under


Hurt, angry and triggered,

I step outside to the smell of ripening lemons.

I seek the source and in the shadows under a leaf I find a companion …

One hiding from the rain,

The other of us, hiding in it.

And the lemons silently release their scent.

Three 


As I sat drinking my coffee,

Before my eyes pass a four footed trinity.

Revelry

Bugle your truth,

And wake me up!

With such deep love in your eyes,

How can I refuse You anything!
( well,  not my chocolate bar,  I can refuse you that, not out of selfishness, but out of love)

Pulling through 

Nose to the ground,

Leaning in,

Pulling through….

We got this, 

Cumm ON ,

We got THIS.

Detente 


They meet on the street…

( ok so it was a hallway)

And as they passed,

For just. A moment.

They reached out to each other…

And do not hiss.
Sometimes peace is only a passing moment…

Cherish the path where you find it.

Eternity 


Amidst the talk of salvation and savior,

Of duty and praise…

And a longing for the eternity of days,

One of true royalty silently enters the conversation speaking only truth.

We are transformed by friendship and love.

Gray


Against a sky of gray,

Little birds still set about their day.

Scared


Thunder shook the heavens,

Big boomings boomed,

And streaks of lightening burst through the night.
And then the rain began to fall.
Under the desk, a small bundle of fur climbs on the top of my feet…

I looked down and our eyes meet.
Lack of understanding is so very very scary,

And sometimes nothing in the world feels safe…

But it is.

And All will be well.

Grazing

Wayside paths


Oh my way,

I passed a field of goats.

Grazing as I gazed as I passed,

Both on our paths…

All of us here.  Now.
