Lover, Hater?
I looked upon the sleeping angel whose sparsely
Covered head in tufts of flyaway hair, place her
Thumb in her mouth, curl her index in her fine hair,
As she lays curled up around her bunny.
The bunny wasn’t as soft or as sly as she,
But he got around and needed just five minutes
Of rest before the ‘devil’ woke up and sang hymns
As she ran circles around him with great care.
Watching the merry go round of the joy and play,
The cheery laughter that I want to last another
FIVE minutes, as time lapses exponentially,
And we are never ready to see them grow, ever.
They grow slowly, then life changes and imposes
Its disillusionment and disappointments
That are an inevitable result of interactions,
Familial, social, peers, and business.
I wish that infant would stay innocent for longer
Not needing to face oppression, recrimination,
Racism, nor dicrimination which implode into a hater
Rather than a lover who accepts the other in compassion.

Cardinal’s Passion
What’s spring if not a rebirth of life, beauty, and passion?
The last as red as a cardinals’ feathers, fly
Into your heart, home, and nook with preservation
Of your unique humanity looking kingly
As you let your heart soar in the revelation
That life, flowers, trees, and shrubs all beautiful,
All colorful just like a spring sun that shines fitfully.

Leaden Heart
With fall comes a boisterous ball
Filled with wild colors, flaming reds that stall
Time and create a feeling that’s heavy in the head.
Worries abound: pandemic, school, health,..
Where to start or stop with the heaviness
That steals your breath?
Money, money, money, materialize and grow in the yard.
Grow into a thick trunked tree and seed me your harvest.
Don’t die out in winter and stop your perpetual
Rejuvenation of yourself, my family, and mine.
Without your harvest my heavy head turns to lead,
My heart turns to steely stone,
And my motivation dies a silent screaming death.
