grateful
for the holding
for this time-worn fabric
for the rough and frayed of life lived
that caught the edges of unraveled scarf
violently tossed by tempest’s wind
calming the storm within
for this sticking
grateful

there’s a place the pollen falls
when the rest of life has scattered
whirled away
by strong, spring breezes
in miniature vortexes
seeking bull’s-eye releases
among distant flower beds
there’s a place the pollen falls
this sperm—stuck to the honey bee’s
strong legs—
is carried
to soft, blushing petals
open wide
and waiting
there’s a place the pollen falls
filling empty spaces
when winged lover
devours the nectar
and—by Nature’s lush design—
makes sensual deposit
that leaves gametes
inside

brave sun penetrates the clouds

snow falls on bare limbs
guards against the chilled air’s bite
blanket-tucked buds rest

a little lost
a little hurt
a little crushed by life
I am
a little…
hope a little
laugh a little
thrive

through the long nights of winter
dream vivid, spring hues

calming, midnight sigh
stirs earth’s moon-dusted snow coat
the New Year’s first breath

Wishing you all a happy, healthy and prosperous New Year!

Happy Labor Day to my US friends. I wish you and all my blogging friends around the world a blissful place to dance. ( 📸: Alannah Cliff)

life
moves
down a path
strange
yet known
like the soft cheek
untouched
but kissed
or the moon
distant
and understood
in the liquid reflecting pools
of the eyes
seen
unseen
seeing
blind
felt
in the dark
shining
through tears
reaching
probing
always
seeking
strangely
known
life
moves
its
juxtapositions
positioned
sublime
