List
I sat myself down
Made a silly little list
'Bout what I would do
Time
If I had the time.
O and what all would I do
If I had the time?
Be
Sprawl out on the porch
Soak in the warm honeyed light
Breeze stroking my cheek
Read
Curl 'top a cushion
Book in hand my only care
Feline- perfect ease
Pray
Drop down- bended knee
Talking, yes- mostly list'nin
Whisp'rin, "Beautiful"
Steal a Kiss
Press me close to you
Brush impatient lips on yours
Savor the promised
Dance
Swaying, bobbing beat
Royal- ruling this body:
Palm tree in fierce breeze
Laugh
Wee ripple rising
Mirth a spreading thing like weed
Full grown, bursts brilliant
Worship
Emptied hands lifted
Face raised- soakin' in glory
I hear, "You are mine."
Walk the Dog
Only purpose- be
outside, sniff everything, pull
against too short leash
Afternoon Coffee
Sweet bulbous curve of
warm mug weighty on cupped hand
bitter-sweet relief
Hike
Enveloping hush
Broken by sole meeting stone
And deepening breath
Foster
Open door, hands, heart
Sweet refuge and healing place
Welcome here, broken
Write
Exhale emotion
Paint the past in gilded light
Record what should be
Find the Time
Cease endless running
Demand nothing-important
Be declared vital
