The spider and I walk together
on a shared yet separate path
both forever yielding
for the other one to pass.
Side by side we travel
the spider and the sparrow
he on his path, me on mine
we walk the straight and narrow.

I once thought heaven a place to go
a goal with a hefty price
but as I grew I came to know
that heaven is part of life.
And if you fail to capture it

An apple a day keeps the doctor away
But oh, what the apple goes through
To bring the cure, it must endure
A most painful season ’tis true
Winter’s tree, stands stark and bare
Caressed by cold of night

The mighty oak tree softly speaks
with whispers in the wind
It does not ponder purpose
nor worry how or when.
It speaks of dark and stormy days
its struggle to stand tall

The robin peeps
as daylight creeps
we leave the land of sleep.
With dreams now gone
as day moves on
we’ve promises to keep.

Out of nowhere
souls unite
their spirits merge
and dance.
Their words
become their music
as they flirt
with circumstance.

It all started with a word
a phrase, that captured my attention
on a day when I was listening.
I was not looking to read, or to write
but by some act of fate I found you there
where you had been writing long before
I was there to read. Talking to the clouds, sharing
your dreams with the sky and your heart
with a world that could not yet hear you.

I stare at the paper
the words incomplete
I cut and I paste
I select and delete.
The software is fine
the hardware is wired
but my heart just won’t bleed
and my brain has retired!

There’s a voice in the silence
where innocence sleeps,
A face in the flames
that captures and keeps,
A haze on the windows
where ashes conspire,
To capture the rapture
of the demon called fire.

Those worldly words of wisdom
that just roll off the tongue
fill empty space and take the place
of things we should have done.
The dreams we didn’t realize

Just before the sun goes down
As light streams throught the glass
Some things you’ve never noticed
Catch your eye as day goes past.
The sunlight fills the corners
Now illuminated brightly
And what managed at night
to stay out of sight
Becomes suddenly unsightly

I sit mesmerized
watching leaves touching down
now freed from the tree
as they spiral around.
They land with perfection
such timing and grace
appearing predestined
to fill empty space.
Their landing expands
earthy palettes of color
falling softly and gently
they playfully hover.
Awaiting arrival
of crisp cleansing air
to erase any trace
they had ever been there.

Today I just feel wasted
no ambitions seem worthwhile
So I retreat, accept defeat

There is no path to follow
In our search for hallowed ground
For every hill and hollow
Leaves us unsure where we’re bound
Conflicting highways beckon
We proceed on shaky ground
The straightaway to a heavenly hell
Goes deceptively round and round.
