moments of kindness
reaching out to know you're safe

This was in response to something a random person was trying to do for a person they cared about. It was just a quick poem/haiku of sorts. Don't judge for the quickness! Lol
I don't
understand why
my mind
drifts to thoughts
of you, in the
spring when I'm
alone in the woods.
The dew is on the
grass, and the small
flowers begin to
bud, the petals
slippery and wet,
glistening in the
morning
sun.
The birds sing
their symphonies of
praise, and the trees,
***** and strong, reach
to the waiting sky.
The rain shoots
down, and I
rest.

Here is a link to my YouTube channel, where I read my poetry. This reading is from an open mic I did via Zoom in Iowa City.

Watch your head through low beam's threshold
take a shovel as you enter, leave all tether behind
now put your back and foot into each uttered word
and dig, dig deep language of unadorned emotions
load that cart with precious mettle and loose ****
sorted and blameless from ****** stone sentiment
heaped near the furnace and crucible of song

The pressure to create constantly
makes those creations feel disposable
Petunias

Another flower that
is near and dear
to my heart.

Black and purple little petals
Fragile.
Lovely.

You used grow in my yard
in the house I grew up in.

So pretty.

What a contrast
to the chaos I
was enduring

Inside.
Truth. Memories. Interesting how in all of the chaos in my early years I was so aware of the lovely, little delicate flowers that grew in my yard.
Beauty sits next to her ugly cat, to look more pleasant, but the cat knows otherwise.  -cec

Is it evil or is it right
The death we face at the end of life?
Is there peace and all knowing
Do we reap the seeds we're sowing

Hear now the reaper's reasoning
Dust and bones, vultures feasting
Driven by an unknown calling
Life to death is but a stalling

I can not tell, nor can I dream
I can not feel your suffering
I can not ease your loved one's grief
Nor can I confirm your disbelief...

I am only a Reaper, heartless and cold
I put the end to growing old!
Traveler Tim
As the clock ticks 12
I go out to enjoy
the cold midnight breeze
the sky isn't clear
but nor is my head
the stars sure were beautiful
but the clouds are too
i guess
everything has its season
but not a reason
Pristine waters along the new morning
Eating away at the shore’s lips
Licking the grains of sand that stray
Into the dark ocean
Crystals of colour floating in the sea
Aligning upon foamy waves
Never unmoving, forever free
Have you ever seen a pelican?
