Monster Cookies

Monster Cookies
to a child who loves cookies
the size matters
the bigger the better
yet there is always a limit
a child may learn to share
by sharing her cookies
a child may learn preferences
or what is too much, too sweet
monster cookies are not for monsters
but for those who feel size matters
cookie lessons are contained
in every morsel, in every bite

Like a Walking Tree

Like  Walking Trees
our feet are firmly rooted into the Earth below
giving us stability and the ability to grow
these roots can pass thru anything
they move as we move
we are like walking trees
from the pivot point of each foot
as when rising up to stretch and look
there is a tap root that extends to
the very core of the Earth
these roots tap into Earth’s core energies
to feed, nourish, sustain and grow
our personal trees of life
walking consciously each day
strengthens the interplay
between this Mother
and her children

Child’s Play

Child’s Play
play with the children
come join in their world
what makes them happy
is contagious
playing with water
one of their favourite games
and they don’t even consider
its many forms all have names
to bathe/swim in the liquids
to have imaginary games
pouring water as tea
reality reframed
given an ice cube
fascinated how it melts
skating on a frozen puddle
and how its coldness is felt
then watching the vapour
they blow out on a cold day
or the steam drifting off
a hot mug enjoyed
as they play
the wonder
of everything
finding new ways
to experience
their world
always
wanting to play
