Tea Leaves
Tea leaves
Float aimlessly
Stirring moments
Of newness
New day
New year
New hopes
New beginnings
Some people read tea leaves
— I just drink them .

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.

Past and Present
The gray stone,
Hundreds of years ago,
Others will pass
And I forgotten.
Time…

Summer’s Arrival
I love the sun’s rays
The long and hot sultry days
With sweaty runs and sweet ice tea.

Memorial Day
Weekend Speckled white and ash
Contrast green and soldiers seen
In uniform past.

Embers
A Day to remember
In winter’s dark embers
With the cold at your feet.
A saint in the past
Made sure love would last
So now we give roses and sweets.
