Birthing III

We have returned to the crossroads
Only to find all signs point Home

Again the choice is ours to make
Of hoping the Child is stillborn
Further delaying our journey
As we spin faster and faster
On the merry-go-round of life

Far Away

Far away the children play
In a world shrouded in innocence.
Let them play—
And learn to deal with life.

Dream Fragment 5

Smartly dressed in red and black
The ants climb the green stalks
Slowly circling and circling
To coax a tightly wrapped bud
Open for the hidden pink
Gift of a peony sun
Rising over the green mountain
Of my flowering mind

Crutches
```
We all have crutches,
It would be a lie to deny it.

We must therefore decide
Which are needed to keep Man
On this side,
Just above the line
Between we and animals.

Well Traveled Road

You tell me
That by walking the same road,
You see more each time.
Possibly. . .

The possibility of another route?
I wonder what an alternate path
Has to offer?

“Living life”
```
Living life
In a dream of oneness for all.
We touch with our heart
While feeling with our soul,
For we are together
On the cold and long road
Of our dreams.

First Snow

Unable to find restful sleep
I quickly open the closed blinds
And await the season’s first snow
With youthful anticipation.

This morning one reluctant leaf
Barely clings to the cherry tree
As it gently sways to north winds
Blowing Snow in and Autumn out.

“The black walnut tree”

The black walnut tree
Stands in majestic silence
Awaiting winter

Knowing that the falling leaves
Protect its fallen seed fruit

“Common sense”

Common sense,
What is it?
It was once a pamphlet,
But now what?
