Duality Friday, Oct 24 2008
General 5:00 am
Effort and trials
Consequence and reward
Mountains to climb
Waves to ride
Ups and downs
Day and night
Opposites attract
Like draws like
Two are one
And one is many
Nothing is as it seems
Pennies Thursday, Oct 23 2008
Writing 5:00 am
Drips and drops
Pennies falling
One, two, three
Each day joining
Within the glass
A mountain growing
Until one day
Spilled for counting
Each drip and drop
Each penny rolling
Sums up enough
Yourself a treat for buying
Jewels of Sound Wednesday, Oct 22 2008
Writing 5:00 am
Words strung together
Like jewels on a chain
Each glittering bauble
Of value unmeasured.
An artist’s touch
To order and link
The gems of sound
And meaning
A work of art
A master’s touch
Many-faceted
and life reflecting
Things to Do Tuesday, Oct 21 2008
Writing 5:00 am
Tasks and lists
Things to do
Places to be
Meeting too
Full are the days
Little rest to be had
But there are the nights
In which relief can be had.
Thought Chasing Monday, Oct 20 2008
Writing 5:00 am
Thoughts swirl
Within my mind
Never standing still
I chase them down
One by one
To hold and learn and know
I can not catch them all,
These thoughts.
I watch some slip away.
And hope such thoughts return
For me to chase again, another day.
Surface Sunday, Oct 19 2008
Writing 5:00 am
Gliding across the surface,
Barely touching,
Rarely feeling.
Motion tries to be
A substitute
For progress,
For truth.
A shallow dip into
Unknown waters
Becomes something more
A deeper touch,
A meaning found.
The surface calms.
Thank you Saturday, Oct 18 2008
Writing 5:00 am
Thank You
Two words, oft spoken.
Thank You
Two words, oft dismissed.
Thank You
Two words, heartfelt.
Thank You
Two words.
From me
To you
Little Things Friday, Oct 17 2008
Writing 5:00 am
Little things
rarely noted,
great changes
can create.
A word,
a smile,
a touch,
a dream…
A thought
to action turns,
the twig
diverts a flood.
To see
with others eyes
and try to
happiness create.
Not noticed
yet often
a difference make…
the little things
Seeking Thursday, Oct 16 2008
Writing 5:00 am
Trouble brewing,
Rumors churning.
Clear truth to
Muddied story.
Perception blurred
By strong words dirtied.
The seeds of doubt
Land in fertile soil.
What is fact and
What is fiction?
Seek the truth,
Pursue your vision.
Changing Hues Wednesday, Oct 15 2008
Writing 5:00 am
Yellow, Orange, Red
Sun, Fire, Passion
Green, Blue, Violet
Grass, Dreams, Night
Bright colors surround,
Hues dimmed by our own eyes.
Return to themselves
When perception clears
