A Moment

Every moment I breathe

    is every moment I live

        is every moment I die


Every moment is

    only a moment

        forever

           another moment

The Beauty

Simple beauty

Strong and tall

By her own will

She follows the sun

Thinking

Naked to the world around me

I sit in the present

untouched by my surroundings

the past holding me tight

Winds through the fragrant pines warm me

and remind me to smile

All is familiar while everything is new

how magical memories are

Self

Alone in the crowd

drowning

in an empty pool

dressed

in front of everyone

yet naked

to myself

Thinking Spring

The winds of thought
move through my mind

The scent of spring
lives within

Individual

I no longer look at them as one

what one does they all do

I’ve learned that each has a shape a color

and may react different from the rest

Each is an individual

I will no longer judge all as one

each should be recognized for their involvement

An individual I now realize makes the whole

not the whole as one

I will from now on remember this…

No longer will I call it my hair

but my curls.

List

A touch…

A look…

A musical rhyme

can stir my heart at anytime

A scent…

A taste…

A funny story

can move me always far from worry
