A splinter lodges
under the toenail. Screams of
pain, storms internal.

The Lake
A house alive come summer
breezes. The lake becomes a
gathering place for song and
soul.
Nurture what you have internal,
it lays waiting in the winter. The
buds will bring out what’s forgotten.
Splashing and laughter paint
the sky.
Make warm memories, and be sure
to remember.
Time can look through the window
with narrow eyes and only a spark of light.
Dilute the unforgiven, and breathe in
deep comfort.
Water waves slowly, planning your daydreams.
Move in harmony with the clouds. Look at
the dog chasing the ball. Paddle strong and
hold on tight, diversions await you.
Shake when you get out of the water.
Happy Day
Today my mother
was born, happy day, happy
day. Celebrate life.
E.E. Cummings
“The most wasted of all days is one without laughter.” – E.E. Cummings
Don’t Tell Me
Don’t tell me I can’t.
Water finds low ground and the
Salmon swim upstream.
Plan your journey well,
win over doubters, their skin
is too tight and dull.
Balance each step with
fauna and rock, sturdy feet
brings a steady mind.
Build dams and open
hearts, piecing what makes you whole.
Bathe in the water.
Laughing Dogs
Laughing dogs dream with
twitches of rapture, digging
fast, finding a bone.
Mixed
My shot heard round the
world, fragments of contempt and
love are mixed and bent.
Time
Hold tight the moment.
Forever doesn’t exist.
Time is but a taste.
Save the date or you’ll
sink in the mud, hold the day
to convey peace.
The clock works against
you, open your mind to end
the match. Free yourself.
Bouquet
Bring your bouquet to
the party, your soul
will dance with the light.
