what a day!
it was today
I have to say
now standing tall
heavy steel beam
building strong team
in the sweat and heat
shedding calories
shoveling grit
bit of daily drama
before it was ready
sun burned steady
quickly setting
in the ground
concrete mound
gallons of water
out of the tank
like money from the bank
think positive
and on your feet
the groundwork
is complete
recording of the above poem read by the author
full spectrum rainbow in the sky
with no rain on the horizon
walkers in shorts and singlets
trying to work out their thoughts
dogs stopped barking for a while
bird songs filled the fresh air
a fountain drew in native bees
chilling next to the little bird pool
deep red color of the fresh flowers
butterflies gently flying around
the spring has come to town
bringing an abundance of life forms
time of the fresh and alive
a new season has started
naturally
recording of the above poem read by the author
flying off a push bike
little girl pink skirt
landed in the grass
helmet on the head
bewildered look
ended that fall
straight ahead her dad
who teased the act
by stretching his arms
hight into the sky
as the wheels rolled
down the road
the girl learned quickly
dads cannot be trusted
with advice on flying
without crash landing
inevitably
recording of the above poem read by the author
the silence, the emptiness
caressing the mind
here and there random
thought form, impulse
a wave of bliss
passing through
softly
alertness one moment
close to sleep the next
stillness unmoved
just the slow breath
lifting the ribs
feeling of nothingness
connected to the whole
falling
inside an eruption
fire flowing
in a stream
no resistance
freedom
instead
