sometimes birdwatching

fill my soul with joy,love. In

to the morning beams

your presence brings joy

flowers’ beauty marks exist?

I awake in grace

yellow-rumped warbler

waits, watches, ruffles, then flies

we have ever had

I need to walk there

paint the histories of tides

mirrors for inside

play brings character

to truly reflect on you

now realized and walked

shoes of sand and moss

turbulence with breath, movement

in a silent mind

in my cup, coffee

hold what is precious and clear

we have ever had

even the strongest

of dancing curves of sunshine

in growth together

we all need this path

those intersections in self

joyfully alive

those moments of pause

makes me feel like a kitten

memories’ bubbles

get ready for night

origami creases you

all that flows in time

a forest of ferns

can make the same daily path

look at what’s in reach

the most open paths

quivering with their cuteness

filtered solar light

do you ever just

and the unexpected joy

contrast is but life

butterfly vortex

for being steadfast, constant

just beaming with joy

cottonwoods have arms

of serendipity in

days, loops, through the years

you just might feel it

that practice the art of firm

to the norms of life

I glanced at you — there

little hummingbirds come, go.

connected to Earth

we live in these loops

with the steel beams of your thoughts

life’s intricacies

some windows are but

of light and shadow, those lines

utterly selfless
