Mother Earth Imagines a Life - Nov PAD day 4

Mother Earth Imagines a Life

She dreams of a day,
a decade, an epoch,
when every single being
claims an equal space,
an equal place in her heart;
when what she has to tender
is untainted, unspoiled
by anyone’s hand
and all she offers up
is enough.
A time of no need,
no greed, no borders
or lines in the sand;
only lifetimes – generation
upon generation –
partaking in peace and prosperity
without war or pain or fear,
sans hunger and sorrow
and she hopes
it might begin
today
or tomorrow.

Chipmunk is… - Nov PAD day 2


photo by PSC / Oct 2016

Chipmunk is…

an acrobat,
a tumbler, a clown –
a silly, nimble gymnast.

Skittish, but hardly timid;
tiny, but nowise mousy;

charming, graceful, appealing,
and a tickler of funny bones,
(always)
appearing wholly without guile

who never (ever) fails
to make me smile.

Schrödinger’s Cat - Nov PAD day 1

photo credits below


Schrödinger’s Cat

She understands that.
Knows
she’ll never
really know
if she’s made
the right decision
(once she decides
to stay or
go.)

Trapped
in a prison
of her own making
she’s taking off –
packs her bags, lies
in wait; vacillates,
uncertain
why she hesitates,
cogitates, ruminates.

Can’t tell you
why she still abides.
Can’t help but sigh
and wonder:
when her box
is finally opened up
will she
be dead or alive
inside?
