The Sun

The sun rises

earlier in the day

The birds are aware

change is in the air

For them

it's instinctual

for us

something else

again

"ellecee"

Cast a Light

Withdrawing, withdrawing,

desiring respite in seclusion

Days drifting, drifting, drifting on

all of life a pitiful illusion

Thinking, thinking, thinking, dark ‘til dawn

Seeming sudden, shadows cast a light

that only poignant dreaming could ignite

“it is never, ever, to late to mend”

even as a journey nears its end

Destiny

In a heartbeat life changes
clouds  roll in and showers fall
a child is struck by a car
someone wins a lottery
love appears, disappears,
we seem so lost
and found

In a heartbeat the world changes
Earthquakes come and leave their mark
rain forests die,
we weep
A new Pacific island rises from the sea
we walk together
seeing

In a heartbeat she changes
the good things become bad
then the bad things become good
She anticipates a warmer world
then finds it remains the same
again

In a heartbeat we are renewed
though issues remain the same
we accept
and like the phoenix
we rise again,
move forward,
meet our destiny
unarmed
