Forgiveness brings the softest touch
Yet smashes walls to let in light.
We throw away the leper’s crutch.
The snow that bothered us so much
Now sparkles like bright stars of night.

Four lines define the boxy square
That keeps us safely trapped somewhere.
A circle in the ceiling might
Let in wet rain and dry sunlight.
Between these squares and circles we
Live out our dreams for harmony.

A leaf won’t blame the maple tree
When summer warmth is gone.
Forgive the fall. Through winter see
Fresh spring to dream upon.

I wink and then it all goes real.
The former dreams now make me feel
Like everything was there to heal.
I fantasize a pleasant way
To whisper happiness to you.
I send you dreams of every day
So wilder daydreams may come true.

hungry birds
fly in to sip and a dip
morning repast
mourning doves
setting sail in the birdbath
sails billow

Once upon a daydream
The sky turned gray-cloud blue
While changing leaves
Of maple trees
Distracted me from you.
Forgive all these distractions
I wonder could we be
That key once lost
Found at great cost
Unlocking mystery?
