Heavens Are Us

we’re the song and dance of god

even when feeling very odd

aware our body’s aligning

                   we sense moves

                           and

                                sounds

                                    divining

Snailing Along Singing My Song

human among humans

or a schlep among schleps

I’m honored to join in

maybe doing my best

Know Weigh

truth is safely sought

hearing feeling-thoughts

of many voices

challenging choices

examining fruits

our guessed truths

                             produce

Freed Greed

my greatest greed’s dance and song

gracefully

                    all day long

feeling touched

                               by all I touch

is this asking for too much

Can A Poem Take Us Home

help sense we're loved

below above

to feel we're gods

though very odd

believe all's well

even in hell

to know we'll grow

more than we know

If You Ever Need A Friend

if you ever need a friend

who will love you through the end

I’m your friend

through the end

I’m your friend


if you ever need love

that fits you like a glove

I’m your love

like a glove

I’m your love


if you fly through the sky

I will fly near-by.

If you fall from the sky

I will glide

by your side


so wherever we go

even when we’re like foes

we are friends

loving friends

through the end
