Spiritual Social Media

Even clicking "like" is a failure today. 
Not even enough of life to crawl into a hole.
Emerging stars chase clouds away.
Pattering rain tickles lake surface soul.
Arthritic fingers air dance circling
Beside my heart center flutters.
Dendrites, synapses firing
Lost memories with foggy shutters.
Shallow breathing might ease
Radiating sneaky demanding pain.
Saddened by what others see
My imagination images hope to regain
Mercy. 
When death seems healing like
Dissipation of atomic expression,
Music becomes an air strike
Bombing attempts of sensation integration.
Lighting becoming lightning,
Sharp, piercing, washing out
Feeble prayers enticing,
Pleading about
Grace.

Awkward

Letting go
Embracing

Releasing
Including

Freeing
Hugging

Living
Sobbing

Choosing
Laughing

Letting go
Embracing

Independent
Alone
Family

Sleeping dreaming hoping
Thinking

Opposites
Similarities
Awareness

Why does the cat shed so much?

Fighting Anger/Fear

How sad to be alone;
No it's not because
Sad is loss without
Joy.
Joy is everywhere
Only needs a wisp a whisper
A tickle of thought
A glance at color;
How sad to be lonely
Yes it is because
Lonely is loss without
Contact
Connection
Community 
Communion
And only needs a wisp a whisper
A tickle of thought
A dance with color
We are made of Star
Molecules-

Joy Energy

Sensory Delighting: Living life as a Child

Hum.
Press tree bark,
finger deep green ferns;
light sparkles through leaves!
Peek out, sneak out, breathe out
and in, smelling alive
moss, sapling, pine.
Diamond white yellow light
interplay with emerald, olive, jade,
auburn, russet, dirt earth scents.
Before words, 
knowing Divine Love,
blessings, hope.
Praying now to
remember 
and live

as a child.

Holey Holy Wholey












Are there two of me
Inner prismatic light
Gentle wind-chiming music
Wafting inside
Real to me
Yet the Others
Perceive otherness
In me from me
Making me what
Who I am
Not
A robot, an Alien,
A calculating computer
Brilliant brain without
heart?
Singing I smile
Moving quick bouncing
Inside graceful dancing
The Others see me
Still
Frozen
Lost I am
Not
Can I meld outside
And inside?
Should I?
Maybe my colors and
Music are mine for
A Reason
Redeeming Grace

SPONTANEOUS PLANNING


Birthing children
Creating family
Destroys spontaneity
Which ironically is
Required
When one has children
Planning chaos
Chaotic planning
Spontaneous grocery shopping
Meals needing planning
What is next, next, next
Spontaneous nap
during
Planned television show
Planned basketball practice
Evolving spontaneous
Snowball fight
AH yes

Kitty Paws Pressure Changes

Little kitty, sleek soft cat,
Little paws, sharp claws
Yet purring
Pushing your face
Into my face
Demanding rubbing, scratching
Behind your ears

You climb my shoulder
You commandeer my lap
You own my computer
My book
Wee, little paws
On a wee, little kitty

Not light of foot
You thunder onto me
Nudging for love
Each paw a weight
You are here

You are present
A presence insisting
Persisting
Purring to distract me
From the intense pain

Of your wee, little paws

Mud Pies

If I cried
In relationship
To all the pain
I have experienced

I would be dehydrated

The chemicals
Which comprise
My plump body
Would be a small pile

I would be dust in the breeze

The sky would commiserate
And raindrops would
Join the mound of dust
Churning what was once me

And children would make mud pies

A lovely ending

DELIGHT IN PLENTY
A Grocery Sonata

Grace and mercy abound
Grocery shopping
Lousy lighting
Cold air biting
Deli deal found.

Choices far too many
Price comparing
Visual wearing
Chocolate ensnaring
Hearts, or bunch, of celery?

Eggs, yogurt, butter, cheese
Guacamole
Donuts holey
Menus wholly
Gathering food to please

A shrinking crew
A need to feed
Organic creed
Preparation speed
All this just to chew?

Meandering the aisles
Collecting
Inspecting
Reflecting
On family smiles.
