may, i flow

may the breeze kiss me gently through veiled windows; waking me from slumber, prodding me to awake, listen & write

may, i dance in golden grass, arms floating above

may my words be released to you and

may you discern and receive my meaning

may the sun rise over cool mountains, children easily donning jackets over shivering limbs

may the afternoon sun make us strip away the layers of clothing, of emotions, of the walls we create to protect us through the winter

may, i embrace

may i laugh

may i dream

may, i rest

may, i soak up the moments, drawing them into my heart as bread soaks up oil, filling me to saturation;

          my smile broadens as i can barely contain all the joy that has seeped into and permeated my being

may, i forever seek to be whole

may, you take me to the point of remembrance

          a sacrament of body and spirit

                     my anniversary of breath & vitality

may, i flow

i carry your heart...

i carry your heart with me
(i carry it in my heart)

i am never without it
(anywhere i go you go,my dear;
and whatever is done by only me is your doing, my darling)

i fear no fate(for you are my fate,my sweet)

i want no world
(for beautiful you are my world,my true)

and it's you are whatever a moon has always meant
and whatever a sun will always sing
is you

here is the deepest secret nobody knows
(here is the root of the root and the bud of the bud
and the sky of the sky of a tree called life;
which grows higher than the soul can hope or mind can hide)

and this is the wonder that's keeping the stars apart

i carry your heart
(i carry it in my heart)

haiku: our bodies cradled


hand upon his chest
life against my fingertips
despite his repose

time's only measure
as ocean's emanation,
the sync of our breath

daily atonement
regrets, worries wiped away
through our whispered words.
for more words on the theme: listening

what's on her mind...

to be fair, sweet mccabe is the idea hound on this one... ;-D but i really want to see what you do with this. come back and leave a link here if you feel up to the challenge.sometimes i cry too.

she is a girl
she is an artist.
and she's slightly giggly.

and sometimes we all need a reminder to cut loose
and be a complete and total
wild
child.
happy weekend.

Goin' Crazy
Mary Welker

I'm going crazy, ain't it great?

No time for insanity, I'm running late.
I shuttle kids to and fro,
Get in the car, we've got to go.
What do you mean you've lost your shoes?
I don't have time for distressing news.
Run a brush through that hair,
Oh no, the baby's bottom's bare.
Found the shoes, the hair is neat,
Hurry now, get into your seat.
Yes, the baby is diaper clad,
Hurry now, I'm going mad.
Sit down stop fighting,
Tempers are igniting.
Wait! Don't hit your sister,
Watch out she'll get YOU, Mister.
My, things are getting loud,
You know this behavior is not allowed.
That's better, two minutes of calm,
For my soul that is needed balm.
Two little ones asleep in their seat,
The older ones finally quiet and neat
Though at times they make me weep,


These children are mine and them I'll keep.
