Respect is
Earned not commanded, it is
Sought after
Peacefully
Exponentially increasing
Creativity
Thriving to set an example

in the noisy
silence
i sit and dream
of dancing in
the rain, catching
drops as they fall
between my lips
savouring the
silver nourishment of
each
germinating thought
of tranquility

table 22

sitting at table 22
wondering what to do
life meanders around
keeping me on the ground
opening options
opening dilemmas
process thoughts
delight in fantasy
develop dramatically
time is ripe
pick the fruit
sally forth

* * * *

here i am again
at table 22
knowing my heart
knowing what to do
(moving on is easy - jack johnson – playing in the background)

To me the whole world
Opened with no
Resistance
Turning my mind
Outside
In
Sensational
Exploration

Between
Each and
Every
Tortoise beetle
Love
Evolved!

the strangest tears
i ever cried
were like waterfalls
sliding along from the corner of my eye
across the brim
letting go
learning to fly
making simple requests

solitary soul in the sea
slovenly storks slide
      (against a grey sky)
seeking satisfactory sensations
             solidifying
    soul searching solutions

I am a little bit brave
and a little bit afraid
I am my goddess and my moon
I am my silver spoon
elixirs
  life potions
love potions
magic brewing
   in a *** of desire
                  to be free
                  from the constrictions
                  that used to bind me
ladidee!
