Earth Day

Thank you

to the

green leaves

for reminding me

that

it is health

that radiates beauty

and to the

rushing water

that power

comes

from the collective.

Happy Earth Day!

Effort

Perhaps,

instead of seeking

a partner

with a particular skill

or quality,

we should

pursue a person

who is full

of effort,

raw energy

for life

and love.

Touchstone Tuesday: Poem XXI

I have loved you

with things more than love,

beyond the vibrant layers

of devotion

to the rotting

folds of

insecurity and failures;

I have given you

even non-gifts,

because I cannot help

but to offer you everything.

Lyrics & Love

You are poetry,

every lyric

more inscrutable,

yet more beautiful,

drawing me deeper

into a reverie

filled

with flowers

and lace.

Generosity

It’s through

generosity —

a relentless

and reckless

kindness —

that we become

something more;

never by money

or influence,

for

these things

are impotent

in matters

of character.
