sweet

she is like molasses
and she sweetens your soul
she makes your world twirl
in a whirlwind of song

under her dark curls
she sparks smiles
and she shoots giggles
to highlight the skies

she flies low, she flies high
her energy could power
a rollercoaster
and she tempers is down

with the gentlest of hugs
with her most caring questions
she sweetens your soul
that she melted into molasses

artichoke fields

I have had the fortune

Of walking among fields

Of blooming artichokes

While holding in my arms

Ever so tight my newborn son

And since the earth could feel

How insecure 

the steps I took all were 

it turned the path

To soft and gentle mud

So if even we’d fall 

we would be welcome 

in it’s warm embrace 

As is looked down

Into the cuddle to my son 

his budding red haired head 

emerged, his eyes

Looked sharp and pointed up

Towards the vast serenity

Of sky and sun

Then with his tiny hand

And growing soul

He hugged me back

Since then I know

That even if we fall

We’ll be alright

We’d help and pick 

each other up

To walk with our spirits

Twice in strength 

Towards the future

And the light it holds

With cheer and hope

we will move forward

on our separate paths

and still be bound

By sky and mud alike 

And the the blooming artichokes 

The fields have had 

balanced flow

everything goes round
as air flows through the lungs
and blood flows through the heart
so does
love flow through the veins
life flow through the heart
light flow through the brain
and then
it shoots in a rainbow
as water sinks in the ground
and humble grass grows
cause all
deserve to learn and grow
and owe to teach what they know
share with the young
light a spark
until the young grow
and learn how things flow
and everything goes round
