Guilty As Charged



Guilty as Charged

I am accused
Of being VERY
Smart, Stupid
Adept, Clumsy
Strong, Weak
Wise, Rash
Timid, Aggressive;
Among many more

I plead guilty,
Of any one or
Any other
At any now or
Any then

Yet, in my defense

I am
More or less,
More of less
Than
More of more
Of any charges
Levied as VERY
At anytime

Tunnel Vision



Tunnel Vision

Change of Season


Winter 2013


I hear the nails being hammered;
the old shingles being replaced.
My neighbor is fixing his roof.
The sign winter is approaching.

Only  few days
remain of summer
to winterize homes before,
first snow begins to fall,
icy winds begin to howl,
flames begin to dance.

The snow will shimmer
equally on all
great and small
for nature has no favorites.

Beauty of snowy white will replace
the beauty of verdant green.  


At least, for a while
.

Key Hole



Key Hole

Emergence


I have learnt
to live with
being unborn.

I have no dob.
I have no photo
of being a child. 
Thus,
I was never born.

Mine must have to be a
spontaneous emergence!

Lagan Lagi Re............



I heard it and fell in love................ I know not who the singers are, but the voices are breathy and breathtaking simultaneously. The words are strung beautifully in musical notes......

Visits



Wild Cat

She stopped visiting.
Months went a-vanishing.

I reasoned for why.
Did she die?
Did she deliver
cute little litter? 
Did neighbor's dog
scared her off to a fog?

Then one evening
as we were driving
she was found sitting
on our cement porch
holding as if a torch
wanting me to make an offer 
of her share of milk in a saucer.

Where she goes I want no answer 
just her daily visits to my love and care.
