Questions 

Posted on July 17, 2017 by eteal

One days where I seem more full of questions than answers,

I look up

And find I am not alone.

Early morning flights

Posted on July 16, 2017 by eteal

 

In the early morning,

I looked up to pray

& find myself watching flight paths…

Creatures of the night

Are also creatures of the dawn.

We fly where we are needed and fed.

Sometimes it is hard to meet on common ground.

Try anyway.

Carry out

Sometimes we need someone to teach us how to carry our load,

Sometimes you simply need some to carry on with you!

The fattest little green frog
Sat filling his leaf

Some days you leap,
Some days you sit.

All is well

Caws-ality

Posted on July 13, 2017 by eteal


The hard drive crashed,
And with fingers crossed in hope and prayer 
It has been sent away to hospital,
or perhaps Frankenstein’s laboratory for devices with names.
And then,
And the tablet crashed …too old to save…
And thus my life support vanishes..
Books and stories trapped in a hull of hope….
Incomplete manuscripts, and bad poems,
Pictures of ink and children…
And I realized how very attached I am to it all…..
And feeling quite shamed
 that I did not learn the proper way to salvations in the digital age, 
I find myself surrounded by benefactors and crows…
All speaking to me of belonging.
All is forgiven, 
the real question is, not, “are you forgiven?”
But can you forgive yourself,
And learn.

Siblings and friendships

Posted on July 11, 2017 by eteal

Trying to nap,

The littlest one jumps with joy and only wants to play.

But no grumbles,

Best to simply wake up and play…

You might just find surprise joy that way!

Dreams

In a dream 

A small silver cloud floated into my arms,

And barked.

.

Believe in your dreams.

of course dogs can’t read….

well anything except body language,

micro-expressions,

and

hearts.

maybe they can help you learn to read too…..
