Time is a Dance

Why don’t you take a chance?

When you know time is a dance?

Around and around we go

To new a oblivion of opportunity

Time follows like so

I wish I could put time in a box

But it wants to be fluid

Like a lake into a river

This dance echos the free

Dance your little hearts out

Selfless Love Leaves a Beauty Mark

Slander and gossip is all around

What is new?

We rise to fall down 

We deserve it after all

My ear is itching 

In my chair I am twitching 

Are you talking about me too?

I am the talk of the town

You know it’s true

The billboard with a picture of a clown 

The jester who is about to fall

Looking for peace is only wishing 

My ripped paper heart needs stitching 

I don’t want to hear, “I love you”

I take a road trip for a fresh breath of air

The journey frees my soul

Once I let go I don’t care

My spirit is my only hope

This world lost it’s spark

And left me in the dark

It’s time for me to take control

Selfless love is genuine and fair

But the opposite leaves a hole

But selfless love can take you anywhere 

It will nurture and help you cope

Here my spirit can just park

As it leaves a beauty mark

And the rhythm of love remains full

Little Robins

The robin tends to her young

She make sure

They get every worm

Before the day is done

The mom will do anything

To make sure they are fed and safe

Moments become days on end

Before too long

It’s time to spread those wings at last

The nurturing time is over

It’s time for this new task

Time to learn and grow

On their own

The wind will help their bodies flow

Don’t be afraid little ones

Your mom is ready to let go

She can’t wait to see what you will become

A robin in Vermont I saw inspired this poem. Her babies were about to born. I even blew her a kiss and she cocked her head, wiggled her butt and opened her mouth. She gave me such a look that said, ”You better leave me alone and my babies when they are born.” She was such a good protective mother. Here’s a picture of her:

Here are some cool facts about robins.

Dusty Road

You say it’s ok
But I want to believe you
You say you love me
I want to receive it too

But I come from a dusty road
Some trees along the way
Offering support
But some decided not to stay

The clock has stopped
So I can’t see
How long been low on gas
The loss of time perplexes me

The gas isn’t my life expectancy
But fuel of hope
What started as destiny
Quickly lost its wide scope

I know others have dusty roads
But mine seems so dry
I choose stick shift to experience life
But you question why

I try to stop asking why
I’ll keep driving
Where the rubber meets the road
Where it’s ok my history was my striving

In the Warmth of the Night

In the warmth of the night
I can hear the katydids
Playing their song
In the wee hours of the night

I love summer nights
Where the air feels heavy
But more comfortable
Than the day

When many people have gone off to bed
Sleeping in their warm comforters
Throughout the world
It’s just you and me love

Staring at this moon together
We know it’s late
But we love being together
In the thick but welcoming summer air

I know you are going away
Like a caboose ready to ride
The straight and narrow
Please don’t forget me

I know I’ll never forget
Your half-moon smile
And twinkling star eyes
Summer will always be in my heart

Dear Friend

I know you suffer
But I am here for you
You know I suffer too
But don’t let go

We are here for each other
Like blessing lilacs in the spring
Your smile is my favorite thing
Let the blessings flow

I know you have cancer
Like a gnat that will never leave you alone
You know I have anxiety of the unknown
But trust I God to lead through every high and low

I am sorry I cause you grief
I want you to know that I care
I pray for you to let go of everything you bear
I know God loves us so

Where Time Goes

As the wind blows
Where time goes
No one knows

I just want peace
As trouble I release
As soaring geese

The valleys may be dry
No rain from the sky
But your heart answers the why

I don’t care if I have the answered equations
Numbers can cause frustrations
If the solution comes with allegations

Where’s my hope in humanity
It comes with affinity
As I hope in the divinity

Let go of the sorrow and pain
And try to refrain
From getting out of your lane

We all have our path to tread
So as you wake up from bed
Don’t forget how you found truth when our hearts bled
