In the Distance

Contemplating clarity…

   In the Distance

Tower of Babel
Looms in the distance above
All that we may tell

Through the Mind

Contemplating meditation…

   Through the Mind

Meditation is
Emptiness filling the mind
Then the state at risk

Muscles burn novel
Thoughts meander through the mind
Working the shovel

This Is Routine

Contemplating experience…

   This Is Routine

People forget when
They’ve not seen it for a while
First snow once again

And the drivers got
No sense of this is routine
Whoa, slippery spots…

Draped In White Velvet

Contemplating wonder…

   Drape In White Velvel

Soft falling petals
Landscape draped in white velvet
The quiet settles

Trees wearing white wigs
More snow last night than last year
Once again we dig

Abide My Hand

Contemplating the process…

   Abide My Hand

When the muse is upon me
The words flow
Onto the page and the verses seem to glow
With meaning easy to see

Well, for me
But when the muse is absent
My pen wanders about aimlessly lost in the sands

Or even refusing to abide my hand
What then when pen won’t go to paper? Where is what’s meant
For lines to set free

For others to see
The things that we all already know
In the day’s rush as we go
More and more crazy

Joy I Remember

Contemplating fun…

   Joy I Remember

Minnesota’s cold
Is fickle and sometimes mild
Always for the bold

Wandering delights
Cruising through little downtowns
Pretty Christmas lights

Joy I remember
Tears streak my face up on the
Bike in December

   To Do List

As life grows hectic
Looking at the to do list
Sometimes feels frantic

Adding Up

Contemplating planning for the unplanned…

   Adding Up

Mixed with my yelling
The dollars keep adding up
Now that we’re selling
