Back To Nature
With my birdfeeder full
A bountiful supply
I think I'm giving nature a hand.
But as I watch nature unfold
It is she, that is helping me
By including me in her plan.

The Ceiling And The Sky
In my innocence I was brave...
And knew no fear,
No boundaries, no limits, no doubts,
Unable to imagine my spirit contained.
The sky was open...
Then came that ceiling,
That flattened the top of my head,
And crowded my dreams with fear.
The ceiling was clear...
You could see right through,
Unwaivering and unmovable it sat,
Intending to crush my dreams, so...

Alone In A Crowded Stream
The driftwood floats,
Down toward the rocky slopes,
Without a care in the world.

Why are they so willing to share
The inner most part of their soul,
Hidden in symbolic mazes
With hedges high?
I guess what I'm really asking
Is why do I?

On My Wall
Ladybug, ladybug on my wall
It was there all summer, but now it's fall.
It was there all season, but never found reason

It just clung there helpless.... on my wall.
Afraid to stand, afraid to fall.
Not really sure about its gender,
Just watched it miss out on life's spendor.
Was it waiting there for a man?
Or for someone el...
