Angels at the Art Show

I have heard of angels in the outfield
Angels on skates

I saw angels at the Art Show, for goodness sakes.
There were many spirits dancing in the paintings on the wall.

Was it the children?
The young lovers?
The folks that owned the store?
Perhaps, it was the [...]

she loved the Springtime too
Cleaning [...]

The mountains’ Wife

The mountains of gratitude

To live in the moment.
Leave the past far behind.

The peace of this place.
I love
the mountains
the forests
the streams.

Oh I long to be free

Oh how I long to be free
Of the “rage-aholic” that is hiding in me.
I can see your faults..
(I am perfect you know).
I just want to love you.
How I don’t know.
However, your unacceptable actions

You should know this
You are too good a mirror…you help me to see.
I have [...]

Where the healing waters flow…the dishpan?

I find so much healing
When my heart is reeling
To place my face
towards the east
To give me heart a little peace.
I load the dishes,
Wash the cup
And the heaaing happens while I am washing up.

Good gracious, look at the time

Good gracious, look at the time

I am off to be living poetry:

To spare that traveler a dime,

To give that couple struggling a little bit of joy,

To give a hug to the stranger,

To give love without alloy.
