Pushing towards now

With each drop that falls

Absorbed into the parched soul

Life moves at a pace

Replacing on and all,

In circular forms of round and round

I hold each drop

Like a grain of sand

Or a seed to be planted

Like words and actions

Pushing towards now

Motion spins us carefully

As we rush by hurried in this tiny world

Going faster till done,

Wondering where each day went

As we lay spent and weary

Empty is our cup

Thirsting for just one drop

To make us full.

Yet the smallest to tallest

We seek the path that leads us to there,

To somewhere, anywhere

And we never quite stop to enjoy the scents

Of the bark and soil moist after a humid night

Where the moon shines down

Two am wanderings into the dark

Hands held high as if to catch

The pale light falling like a cloak

Pink orb whispering her night serenade

And I stand hushed by her glory,

Present on the ground

Head in the sky

Alive.

  2. I have been just opening up the heart and letting the words flow without too much interruption of my conscious mind…influenced by the moon and all of the changes, he new stars added to the skies…letting my light shine outward a bit….thanks Tre, I appreciate your words today and everyday. Good morning to Jernee and hugs from the Apple and Chi💜😊 and don’t forget one for yourself💜

    The picture is such a great accompaniment as well.

  4. Haha, just bought toilet papers….stuff is pricy….I’m your kind
    Of people,
    Faithful
    Loyal
    Dog kind of people…
    Just one cat
    When once was three
    But that was back then
    And now two dogs
    And toilet paper
    And a cat that kills birds
    Because they fly free
    Like you
    And me.

  5. Then why am I sending money on cat litter
    Not for nothing
    Don’t you know
    I need new shoes
    The dam cat
    Next you’ll be telling me what about toilet paper
    Oh no
    It’s either the cat or me
    Listen
    There are two types of people in this world my kind
    And people and
    It’s obvious which category you fall into
    Good day

  6. You don’t have to check the day
    Just check your raincoat and umbrella
    We can’t effort
    Anything getting broken
    Like last time
    You know when you were talking with your hands
    And you knocked the vase over
    It’s know wonder we are broke by Friday
    Oh those shopping trips
    With endless plastic
    Let me stop
    You know how I can go on
    Deary
    When you leave make sure the cat doesn’t get out
    And call me when you get home
    You know how I worry so
    Deary

  8. Breathing into each motion
    As to not get a head of myself
    I need the quiet and the still
    To remind me that I’m alive
    Have a beautiful weekend Kim
    See you on the other side of creativity
    Uncle Dysfunctional
