NEW DAY

                         NEW DAY

                                    Loud sea,  

            not angry,

just forceful.

                                    New day,

                                    new life,

the past a tale

that happened

to somebody else.

Nothing left from yesterday

except some bills to pay

                                    and some garbage to put out.

New day,

fresh start,

Stand tall,

have a ball,

Make some noise,

                                    join the boys.

Not strange,

not odd,

Just you 

at last,

You, you. you,

Unique.

DECEMBER 4 JOTTINGS

    DECEMBER 4 JOTTINGS

   1.my values:

honesty and laughter

personal authenticity

respect for the individuality of others

admiration for the sky-painters

and their constant flow of masterpieces.

   2.the beginning and the end,

tick-tock, let’s have a clock

to measure time,

which isn’t real, some say.

                         3   the Sun’s the one,

and yet,

                              it’s only one of many.

 4  no beginning, no end,

   it’s called infinity,

   beyond our human understanding.

  5  divine mind is everywhere,

                              but different in each of us,

                              as it pieces down

                              to fit our finitude.

                           6  soft morning rain

       upon the sea,

       a mingling of similar elements.  

7   I bless you with these mortal words,

   open to multiple interpretations.

THE WALK

     

                          THE WALK

                        I walked alone

along the beach,

I couldn’t wait for you. 

The sand became my partner,

the sea and sunlight too.

WHY NOT?

                                     WHY NOT?

                                    All fretting banished,

nothing now

but lowly loneliness

with a cup of silliness

stirred in,

running words 

    down

    the

    page,

hoping you

            can join me

on the road

to joy,

flowers blooming,

birds singing,

and the sky,

a masterpiece

in blue and white.
