microcosm, microcosm – May 29

Posted on May 30, 2014 by landl30

5.29.2014

microcosm, microcosm

in each place

the biggest aims of

time and space

 

of good and evil

soul and grace.

 

we travel far to

come back ‘round

to find ourselves

the hallowed ground.

chirping neighbors – May 28

Posted on May 29, 2014 by landl30

5.28.2014

chirping neighbors fill

the night with sound

searching for mates

food, friends, foes

singing their song of

existence.

 

we are here.

we are here.

 

 

searching neighbors

sing a song of worry

scared, anxious,

afraid, insecure

 

am I here, am I heard

am I here, am I heard.

 

days to come will sing

of no hurry.

the time will be done.

 

and we will have been

and been heard.

family struggles – May 26

Posted on May 26, 2014 by landl30

5.26.2014

family struggles with

change, tradition,

values and fear

 

will we step too far,

will we reach enough

will we throw out the

baby

 

will we lose our souls

 

family struggles

of hearts bound

to one another

 

by integrity, grace,

birth,

and care.

the garden emerges – May 25

Posted on May 26, 2014 by landl30

2.25.2014

the garden emerges

wood chips providing

the backdrop-ground

 

setting nature into

native land to till

and bring forth

 

something biblically

simple, a collaboration.

hey there – May 24

Posted on May 24, 2014 by landl30

5.24.2014

pains filled the day

paying for not paying

attention

 

to the sounds of the

body, the creaks

and pausing

 

of muscles, bone,

tissue as if they

did not matter.

 

the body has its own

way of saying

hey there

 

and today was

two of them.

glasses – May 22

Posted on May 23, 2014 by landl30

5.22.2014

I sit in the store looking

at glasses, at windows

to faces, to eyes, to

too.

 

framing, disguising,

revealing, accenting,

to face time, to soul

heart, to time spent

to too.

 

brown ones, and black

ones and side swiping

wire ones, purple mince

pie ones that say look

at me.

 

the framing and finding,

the making subliming

the glasses sound

horns now, come

come home to me.

being that

one

ever young – May 18

Posted on May 19, 2014 by landl30

5.18.2014

the ache goes on

running through my

hip and thigh

a message of limit

 

rated capacity, average

run speed, mechanical

aspiration over a life

wearing.

 

in the mirror I see

it. but not from my

heart looking out.

 

that view is ever

young.

clean sheets – May 16

Posted on May 17, 2014 by landl30

5.16.2014

clean sheets, comfy

cool sheets. stretch out

and lift my soul in an ooh

aah moment.

 

clean sheets, telling

stories sheets.letting

me down easy from

where I landed.

 

clean sheets

of paper

that let my

pencil swirl

in arcs of

presence.

 

clean sheets, empty

waiting to be filled

like a new day, end

day, mid day

 

just waiting

for me.

clerical collars – May 15

Posted on May 16, 2014 by landl30

5.15.2014

clerical collars, signs

of more. more than

oneself, more than

just us. more.

 

clerical collars, gatherers.

of opinion, of grief, of

accolades and commentary.

of more than oneself. more

than one

self.
