More or Less

Who has more

And more of

What

Do you want

More of what

You don’t have

or

Do you want

Less of what

You have

What is more

What is less

And what is it

That we still

Lack

Really

Why Dream?

I have a dream

that somehow

seems just right

for me

I have no intention

of letting go of

my dream

for if I do

I lose me

I lose hope

I lose my way

I try to light

the way for others, to never

let go of their dream

and if I find a sad heart ready to let go

I try to show the great importance

To “Hold Fast”

for without a dream, we are lost in time

Birds of summer in North France

Here in the north countryside

Many trees, many birds

crows ,pigeons and more I can’t name

even teeny tiny ones

hopping and jumping and making themselves heard

The crows are intense

but when in flight

can be good company

they flap in the trees making a commotion

then fly away and come back when they feel like it

So many different sounds

I wish they could parade, sing, and introduce themselves

Sigh

I guess I have to be contended with their

flapping and chirping and making music

Truly Divine

Cats my calm

Cats are truly a treasure

they bring calm and peace

into a turbulent time

I am grateful to be able to take care of them

They give me so much more

than i can give them

and yes, to them

I am enough

Birds , my teachers

My teachers , birds

one stormy morning

I saw this lonely bird

flying to find

a shelter from the cold winds and rain and hail

and i felt a bit ashamed of myself

remembering how many times i complain about this or that

birds do not ask for help

but are self sufficient

they do not complain when life is hard

they persist

finding any way they can to survive

and through it all

they sing

and sing

I will try to learn from my great teachers,birds

My promise to me

I want to be

bubbly    light      and happy

I want to truly taste

the Beauty of Life

I want to feel

more happiness

then ever

before

in all aspects of life

I want to know

Beyond all Doubt

that whatever

I think

Whatever I want

I can Be

and

Have

One day at a time

The words one day at a time have taken on a different meaning for me. From the time as a child I used to sing that song, now with Covid-19

after months of lockdown total or partial I have come to appreciate what those words mean. Since March 2020, Time has donned rocket boosters and I do not know where almost one year went.

Sometimes I am aware of morning and then I turn around and it is sunset.

So I have rediscovered my childhood habit: Living in the  moment.

Will I succeed in hanging on to Time regardless of rocket boosters?

The joy of birds

I heard the sound and music

of baby birds

being fed by mother bird

and it struck me

how beautiful it is

that such small creatures

know they are important

maybe they know why

for we must be important

when we have such

an awesome Creator

we should sing too

for whatever time we have

for

even though in cages

birds sing

what glory!!
