God’s Thumbnail
Right outside my window is a sliver of a moon .
There is no fanfare , just hangs in quiet.
Looking like God’s thumbnail ,
As an iridescent light.

Cardinal
a male
And then
His female
Came upon
My deck
Looking for Aurora
Or Cinderella
” A dream is a wish
Your heart makes”
Only they know💕🦜

School Days
The world is suffering
Covid has taken a toll
However do not tell
Our lil scholar
Trying to get on the honor roll.

Afternoon Tea
If ever there was a pleasure
that I would wish for thee.
It would be the solitude
of an afternoon tea.
I would bring the kettle
and a biscuit for you.
You would bring the tea
and we would begin to brew.
As we pour our cups
to the top of the brim.
We would take our ginger man
and laugh as it dips in.

Morning
Stretching so far
I try to see
the dark coal sky
hanging over me.
Constellations I recognize
spatter light in my eyes.
Laughing they drop
right before the horizon
turns crimson red.
I see the universe go on ahead.

Now
Missing the before,
realize it is my before.
I stop and dwell in time
no before and no after.
I am then in the presence
Of the universe.
