Sunflower sets on sleepy skies
Duck’s reflection is but a bit of a guise
Evening wraps our attention carefully
Transforming our plans into prayers
Wearing humility as a badge of honor
Trudging through grass of grace and truth
Their faces beam and the waters teem and tell
All creation knows praise all too well!
Even the weeds proceed in a fashion of splendor
The cars on the roads nearly scream with a fender bender
She smiles and encourages the flowers to do the same
She carries all that is good in the power of her given name
They strive to shine with purpose and passion
Each year unfolds and blends in adventurous fashion

They’ll Do Anything
Sometimes, the reason people have to live double lives is because their first life feels so awfully miserable. They’ll do anything to get out of the agony and ruin of their original existence. They just try to feel less stuck, longing to experience something a little less hard. No one really understands them at all. They just keep trying to make sense of themselves. One day, just maybe one day, they’ll feel unstuck and understood.

A Dart at Dusk
Seconds ago, the sullen sun set on the two of us… my exuberant furry companion and me. A fresh breeze embraces us, delivering welcome relief from the day’s oppressive heat. His typical stumbling and staggering along — apace with a sloth — has turned into trip-trapping, high-stepping, almost skipping along.
