poet

only sometimes I

walk outside after dark,

Barefoot on

the cool soft grass

feeling the renewal come

from deep inside the earth

Replenishing tired feet

and calming the spirit,

the energy of nature …

CMM 2024

A reflection set, a glance,

mirrored back the soul,

as narcissus asks himself

will I ever grow old.

The water shivers and

and refuses to say.

He looks again closer,

insisting to know.

He slips and falls

into the murky tow .

can it be I think

The colors fade in a blink

So I wait …😅

Often pansies stuck inside,

cut from a garden

right outside.

She gathered them,

cleaned them,

a bouquet she would make.

Then she would say,

” oh goodness sake.”

I was always treated

Less than

Then I found running

CMM 2024

An early run

guided by the crescent moon;

pray for the children.
