Knock Knock Who’s Not Here

comparing myself

with no one

                    especially

me

      I feel

               so free

Guaranteed High

a sure way to climb’s

one step

               at a time

and when that’s too much

enjoy

           what we touch

Almost Beyond Control

since fruits of actions

are more than we see

                                    let’s  pray

continually

Stay Today

heart beat

lungs breathe

life sweet

don’t leave

Lest We Be Judged

all of us

              doing

all we can

                     till we learn

                                          to

to be cannier

Thank You For Me

after crying I’m
alone – anyone’s like home --
and then --  even I

Bow Meow Wow

fun playing around

with four limbs on ground

                                           lighten

our soles while upright

Duty’s Desire

shoulds moving to do

good --

                  breathe

                                desire

                                          inspiring

shoulds to good with fire
