Oh hummingbird Where are you now? Have you taken My courage with you? Oh hummingbird

Walking on the edge, Between awareness and sleep. Sometimes... I’m in the moment, I feel my body,

Driving down the road, The song, “Let It Be” Came on the radio. Taking me back to Various scenarios.

Life is not fair at times... But of course things Change quickly down the line, We are born into a No guarantee world.

Sitting on the lake shore, Which made my heart soar, The water rippled at times, Swirled into beautiful lines, Clouds reflected in it’s mirror,

Time passing by now In a blink of the eye, In the clap of a hand, In the chirp of a bird, In a flash of light

If I had all the time In the world To write, What would I say? What would be the most

Holy Holy Morning glory Blooming in a haze Of purple light. Holy Holy

What if, The simple things In life, were the Most important Events.

Photos are all I have At times, Of smiling familiar faces, My family spread out. I would travel often

As we shared stories, The warm hum of voices heard, A cup of love spilled.

It’s that time of year again. The sound of honking geese fills the air, as they pass in alignment, to the Deep South.

This evening the blank, white page is open. My nerves are on edge, while a storm forms on the horizon.

On this New Year’s Eve Direction lost Drifting like blowing snow To and fro. A freeze comes

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