Don’t mess around.
Whatever you are doing,
do the hell out of it.
Do not mess around.
Whatever you are doing,
play with all your heart.
For the second time
in sixty years, I’m beset
by Agent Orange.
What is the one thing
I can do today to help?
I can practice peace.
I’m aiming mostly
for calm, happy, content,
not cool, rich or desirable.

You pout,
a kitten cries,
fog curtains the sun.

Cycles (a Tricube)
It’s raining
but that’s fine,
it’s needed.
Flowers bloom,
with rain, yes.
and with love.
Summer will
soon be here.
Dry will come.
Today’s prompt for National Poetry Month is to write “from where I’m
sitting “… my attempt…
17’s From Where I Am Sitting
Wondering what I
was worried about last year
at this very time
Have I expressed love,
today, yesterday, ever?
Now’s a good moment
Have I forgiven,
today, yesterday, ever?
How about right now?
When there is unease
in my life, it is because
my thoughts are fearful
I try to keep my
thoughts and actions agreeing,
harmoniously.
Adding peaceful thoughts,
feelings, words and right actions
to a needy world.
My friends, may you be
safe, at peace, happy and free
from all suffering.
I am not living
the life I imagined.
This one is far better.
I’m on a path which
I never anticipated.
It’s pretty cool.
I try my utmost to
show my spiritual self
as harmlessly as I can,
yet I feel the need sometimes
to do more than my best.
One of those times is now.
Still, I'm happiest,
when I bring
everything I have.
We are all
just passing through.
Might as well do so
with joy and laughter,
rejoicing in the day,
walking more slowly,
maybe even feeling
a little groovy.
