Cobwebs

Cobwebs

like the strands of the cobwebs
we walk thru in the fall
prolific, almost invisible
until they cling to us all

gently removing
these delicate strands
leaving the spider to rebuild
his plans

no longer attached
to what is not ours
we are free to move on
as unencumbered stars

Mermaid Memories

Mermaid Memories

the joy of being a mermaid
swimming down, down, down
and touching the bottom

turning
quick flips of the tail
propelled quickly upwards
breaking the surface
straight into the air

crashing down
and simply floating

a metaphor perhaps
energetically touching the heart of the Earth
propelled with her energies to the heavens above
then simply floating
being
living on the horizon
that space in between

Childhood Memories

Childhood Memories

the cherished memories
of childhood lore
were so ofter from
when we were outdoors
and where we were
free to simply explore

the freedom of openness
the freshness of being
in charge of our responses
to feeling and seeing

where did you go
when you went out to play?
let us get out in nature
and remember the way
of our childhoods
