Terminal Happiness

Terminal Happiness
terminal happiness
destination joy
grounded in loving
with all senses employed
dancing thru the doorways
exploring the more
laughter, curiousity
becoming folk lore
giving and receiving
with a balanced delight
weaving generosity
gifting our light
blessed to the heavens
rooted in the earth
growing and expanding
and rolling with mirth

Captured by the Artist

 Captured by the Artist

amazing to look back on
to understand it now
captured by the artist
a sensitive child

the eyes tell the story
the posture does too
a child sat to be captured
and the artist then was too
the artist had suffered
the loss of one that she loved
the child felt it deeply
who was this portrait of?
it could be called a self-portrait
the artist didn’t know
her gift of illustrating
was of herself it would show
the portraits of four children
two before and two to come
showed the before and the after
and what her emotions had done
a portrait of understanding
in how our emotions affect others too
a gift from an artist
who really never knew

Ladybug

Ladybug
there was a ladybug
floating in the pool
i swam back to check it
it was still alive
on a fingertip
the ladybug was lifted
and carried to the poolside
where her wings could dry
don’t ever negate
a simple act of kindness
even the tiny ones
have the power to express their thanks
for the rest of the day
i felt a tingling on that fingertip
bless the little ladybug
for having her say
