The chaos-harmony of life

2025 April 1st2002 December 12th

I swing like a kid
and fall like an adult;
cry tears of gratitude
and pray in smiles;
hug and love, and later
hide under the covers—
wildly and humbly living
from dawn to the stars,
and ever back again

three o’clock —
anxiety, regret
in the depths of worry
swept away in the
whirlwind of nothing —

Summer wonder

2025 March 16th2007 August 4th

late June, monsoon — kaboom!
patter, splatter, fat drops gather
splats, taps, windowpane raps
wind whips, swish, whish —
summer’s rumbling thunder
flash, crash, lightning dash
plash, splash, sky unlashed!

when we love our honesty slips
but soul to soul is always true —
a love lie is truth in another hue
