Homes
You see me outside Chewing my field of green Not caring if I am seen I am home. ……………… You can be domesticated and outside. ……………… Be at home in your world.

Fly away
The leaf hung Swaying gently before me Threads of silk catching the light A small moth flutters away from the web ………………. somedays, we also need to step away from the ties that might bind us.

Rise
Eyes peer over the edge of the bed. Wake up to Joy!
In the treehouse
Under a full moon Still lingering in the morning sun The cat meditated Or maybe that was me… And She just sat there Aware

Sacred Sound
The sound of the dog chewing A goat’s horn Calls me back home To You. Every thing is Holy now.

Masks
They say that real superheroes don’t wear masks… I beg to differ. … What’s your super power? I purr. What’s yours?

Caught in Flight
The beat of wings A swoop A splash The silver shimmer curved gracefully in the talons of a great bird We are all caught by that which is greater than we Chose whose dinner you wish to be with Grace

Sip
A large brown hand emerged from the cup, ‘Sup? Wake up! …. Who was more surprised, You or I, But the message is clear… We can’t go back to sleep Sip deep from life And keep your head above water.
