In love with a goodness

In love with a goodness
Authentic kindness roots
Excuse me and thank you
Sorry for muddy boots

Considerate and true
A healthy self promote
Trying to make better
With empathy emote

In a private lament

In a private lament
Snagged on a twilight star
Buried in passing clouds
The heart that felt too far

Feet in Antarctica 
And head in the Arctic
Soul on the equator 
Compassion cathartic

In the ordinary

In the ordinary 
The love of the simple
The threads in a button
Landscapes with a dimple

The beauty of hand made
The hope of a mere glance
Happy thoughts we carry
The success side of chance

Childhoods are up for sale

Childhoods are up for sale
In these aisles of antiques
Cookie jars, dishes, Life
Magazines and Newsweeks

Dolls staring like orphans
In strange abandonment
Security cameras’
Parental management

The melancholy's blooms

The melancholy’s blooms
Have the scent of bedsheets 
The oversized sweaters
Of lambswool and soft bleats

The arguments with self
That aren’t unanimous 
These letters to the World
Patterns in randomness

Light flashes can’t be seen

Light flashes can’t be seen
Explosions can’t be heard
New movies are streaming
And summer sports have blurred 

Market roller coasters
Insiders have no fear
Sailors wanting to jump
Because the end’s not near

Everyone a teacher

Everyone a teacher
The Overwhelm of learn
The hands full and empty
Much held yet more to yearn

Truth not distant mountains
White daisies in the yard
A seat at the table
In our one act play starred
