a pinhead does her balancing act on a pin

Weather,
like intention,
is a wild-spirited horse,
it's how we tame ourselves
in all the whether or not's in our lives.

I rode that mantra to oblivion.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

when I read Suggestions & Ideas on How to be Unhappy
I said I'm tired of being happy happy happy, blissful blissful blissful
Send in the morticians, make up my face! Deliver me!

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

earth angel

what is an angel
but a thought
awareness
dancing on the pinwheel of 8 billion dreamers

glaciers melt
and the seas rise

this tyranny of insistence,
begging
always begging

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

warm water relaxation
slipping into the womb
of words

Anni Anni Anni…. we are

Anni Anni Anni.... we are kindred spirits you and I...and you are a singer. You make poems into melodies, melodies into songs and songs into sirens, into the voice we imagine angels sing. My passion is great and my abilities are few. Take care of yourself, dear girl and be well for all of us.

Dear Kailashana:

I like this poem, I mean this three in one poem. It has beautiful images, even though not the happiest ones you have written. But poetry is like that, is written in spite of the poet because it comes from the soul. Excellent!!! Sincerely, Hugo

Hi kids. Thanks for your

Hi kids. Thanks for your reading and comments. And thanks for bringing me back to this sequence, Zigs. It's a strange thing but so much I forget as soon as I write it. I don't think it's short term memory loss as much as it's being open to what is rather than what was... be it as it may. Memories are made of these. ~A "...when it agrees with reason and it will benefit one and all, then accept it and live by it." ~ Buddha
