Holiday cheer and laughter, Multicolored lights blink faster, Music of love and good will, Grace the air like snowflakes. Tis the season to be compassionate…

An owl hoots on this cool, crisp Spring night. A sound that’s distant yet echos

Pink hues from the west Filter through Snow covered boughs Leaving, The evening light

Pretend there is no tomorrow becau… there might not be. Live like there is only this momen… that is the truth. Nothing is solid but whispery,

Red cardinal dancing On white snow, How regal you appear With your cloak of red, How it cheers my heart

Ambition seems overrated at this time of life, effort seems more like strife. In my youth I was motivated by a hungry desire

You may not know what you’ll do next: Hit the open road With your thumb stuck out. Give up all you own

My heart is a good heart, It beats strongly And works hard, To keep me alive. My mind is a good mind,

Squirrels with bushy orange tails leap about the deck. Crickets hum, confused that it’s not dark yet. The caw of a blue jay

Standing at a crossroad Between this life And the next, Heart in hand I knock on that

When I grow really old I may have to do yoga Full time, to get out The aches and creaks. When I grow really old

Pale blue moon Of August, Peeking behind The clouds, Luminous,

The hummingbirds are buzzing As well as the bees. The Orioles land gingerly On top of the feeder. Cautiously they move down

Some days you’re in bliss, Some days you’re in pain. Some days you’re up in the clouds, Some days you’re down in the flame… Some days you get what you want

Oh billionaires! How you have lost your soul, lost the goal and kneel down
