Flowering Passion

Celebrate the real new year. That day in spring.
When nature bursts into a trillion flowers. No
other phase in earth’s journey around the sun,
will be as energetic as when seasons turn.

Life is expanding itself, no matter what we
believe or think or feel.

Past-de-deux

While you enter the stage,
your hair seems to turn Gray,
and I know that your knees hurt,
when you do a plié.

As the lights in the background,
fade slowly to blue,
I see a young ballerina,
in an old lace tutu.

It used to be hard to believe,
that this life will not last,
or that the time that remains,
would go by so fast.

I wish I could give back,
those glorious days,
when you walked the glissade,
with wondrous grace.

But while the corps de ballet,
stays always the same,
the dancer in front,
will have a new name.

Call a friend if you're lonely

November always gets us.
White lines of web.
Spider centered life.
