pondering

If life is full of the little things

like skating on smooth black ice and laughing with a friend

than I have nothing to look forward to

because there is good in every day

it could come around the corner, or maybe not till next year

might be next week, or next minute

but it will be there.

If life is full of the little things, than what role do the big things play?

they are the life changers, the world shakers

that allow for the moment's joy

Protest so the little things keep occuring

and shout so the laughter won't stop

I can be happy with a moment

knowing my time will come

to make

a difference.

  • Dear Mother

    Dear Mother, 

    I have missed you these past few months. 

    Where did you go? 

    I see you standing there, torch held high, yet you do not answer my calls. 

  • What Does It Take to See?

    What does it take to see the dandelions blooming in the spring, yellow manes bobbing in the wind?

    What does it take to see the sun slanting through the windows, to hear the tree frog's chorus in the night?

  • A Tree

    I talked to a tree just the other day, I was walking past and it did say,  

    Well, what are you? 

    Just a traveler. 

    But what are you? 

    Why, a human, of course, you didn’t know?
