“How they had dreamed
together,
he and she…
how they had planned,
and laughed, and loved.
They had lived for a while
in the very heart of poetry.”

beat
pulsating rhythm
without a murmur
physical, emotional, mental, spiritual
heart
.
Haiku:
.
Jack Frost almost bit
the sun warmed earth held its ground
spring flowers blooming
.
Poem:
.
the journey with no destination
growing and learning along the way
the soul exists in every location
the mind creates home and away
where am I really
when I think I am lost
comfortable and contented ideally
normal is akin to being star crossed
today is a luxury I must not lose
the moments to savor and relish
doing God’s will I cannot refuse
avoiding the self centered and selfish
today I will live in the present
lessons from the past not forgotten
avoiding the issues of discontent
joys and pleasures to enlighten
gratitude for a mind that is free
and to have lived in the heart of poetry

“Poetry is
the least imposition
on silence
in a world
of chatter.”
.
~ Marvin Bell

talk
ignoring reticence
dominating the conversation
pompous know it all
chatter
.
Haiku:
.
blossoms are blooming
natures perpetual song
bees and butterflies
.
Poem:
.
some talk to hear themselves talk
some chatter because they fear the silence
the noise doesn’t help them walk the walk
emotionally there is no balance
it is not the words spoken
it is the actions that count
all riders need a token
many quandaries to surmount
life is to grow up and change
become the best person you can be
many priorities we must rearrange
not me but you will be the key
seeking happy, joyous and free
serenity and peace of mind
when sobriety adorns your marquee
recovery is what you will find.
ME and the Boss
