There are spunky little angels at the top of a bottle of wine and fearless little devils at the bottom.

Storm story
princess lightning reigned
it was a dark and stormy
knight to fall in love
Memorial
Grieving makes us stronger
it gives us a spirit of grace
and the grace of spirit —
Our hearts feel weaker
but living past loss is
the ultimate courage —
We honor our loved ones
by living on despite,
and all the more because.
Inscribed
graves are not limited
to the cemetery —
they lurk in our minds,
and buried in our hearts
lie garlanded stones
marking loved ones lost
Whole body, whole spirit
We thank
on our knees
with folded hands
for full bellies
and fuller hearts
Accelerant
our apocalypse
once in ultra slow motion
now on fast forward
A turn for the better
October has finally broken its scorching summer fever
turning the hesitant desert autumn into a true believer!
Well-becoming
Wellness is the art of healing before you’re sick.
Stop to smell the goodness
Life. — Enjoy whatever flowers come with the manure.
Tired of trying
Even the sun can’t shine on an entire world at once.
Capriccio
you & i are animal lust
spirit and human emotion
entangled in wild passion
you always touch my heart first
but still find every last place
breaths rise, sweat falls
mine, yours, who knows
bodies wise, minds numb
wills weak, feelings, reveal
speak easy, softly, love
at the tips of our tongues
whisper nothings, give everything
our lips link each other’s souls
with kisses blind, rough and kind
fierce fervor, fever, fire, hot desire
flesh burning, hungering, yearning
begging, seeking, pleasing, please
prey of your hands and at my knees
inhale, exhale, scents, intense
assent, consent, relent, unpent
sweet chords, rhythm, rhapsody
harmony, symphony, crescendo
Mind own secrets
Frustration is nothing more than letting your own mind bully you.
Don’t just sit there
If life is good, don’t just sit there — dance!
If life’s not so good — dance even more.
