The world is a dewdrop,
A dewdrop the world ....
it is, it is, it is what is.


The world is a dewdrop,
A dewdrop the world ....
it is, it is, it is what is.
A million leaves
gather; each unique matter.
They know their oneness.
Nature speaks peace
look at the view around you
For sure a daisy smiles
*I often go back and read my poems and revise them to reflect my current sentiments about a topic. The little bird represents so many things. It is in a way a deity of sorts, a messenger fro the universe to help us make sense of tragedy and violence. Perhaps I am also a dreamer. But I like to think that there is hope for humanity.
A little bird told me
“Listen only to what wise people have to say.”
It spoke to me In a very alarming way.
I have always listened carefully to those I thought were very smart.
But all I heard was actually a lot of stupid stuff.
I have always tried the dodge the darts,
poisoned with hatred, bigotry and words that were really rough.
I pleaded with the universe to help stop the madness,
and declared enough is enough.
I turned to the little bird and explained my confusion,
But It flew away suddenly
as if to say,
What did you expect from your delusion?
Sadly, even birds seem to understand what is going on today.
They know about disrespect
and I think they even get
the meaning of reject.
I am watching for that little bird to come back to me.
The little bird that told me
“Listen only to what wise people have to say“
I hope you know many people do love and respect you.
Many of us work to save you in different ways.
We recycle, plant and make sure that our politicians know
that we must be serious about taking care of you.
Did I tell you cherry blossoms are very beautiful this year;
Red Robbins come to visit us every morning.
The grass is sprouting and daffodils are dancing.
Everything is coming alive again,
Thank you earth for the views of green.
Thanks for the butterflies.
Happy Earth Day!
A New Found Poem
To be honest
Now I can see
Magic and miracles
Our world,
Our Old world
Our New world
Will teach us lessons
We may not want see or understand.
A robin sang
to wake me up this morning
It shared a secret
From above
GOD IS IN THE RAIN!
It told me to
shout it from the house tops.
And I did.
I then went outdoors
And took a deep cleansing breath
For all those who are not able to breathe easily these days
I prayed for all those who are in despair.
The robin flew back onto the bush
Where it sang to awaken me.
I noticed Spring has indeed sprung.
Hope was alive again.
Love reentered my lonely heart.
I started to sing Hallelujah! Hallelujah!
Hallelujah! Hallelujah!

The dragonfly
can’t quite land
on that blade of grass
Sunday morning mass
words to comfort our souls
Flock soars to the sky
Watching the moon shine
on the ocean makes me calm
sweet dreams arise
How reluctantly
the bee emerges from deep
within the peony.
Your song caresses
the depth of loneliness,
O high mountain bird
As my disappointment ebbs
The full moon shines
My cactus blooms
in dreams
and in awakening –
the color of the iris
