Practice

Practice

Tranquility reigns
Moving thru my asanas
Tension releases

The Encounter

The Encounter
They encountered each other on a street corner
Their eyes met
And they knew

Passion was communicated
Through a glance
And they knew

But strangers
Don’t talk to strangers
And they knew

So they kept walking
In opposite directions
And they knew

Later they realized
That love and passion
Had passed them by

And they knew
Of the lost opportunity

Snow

Snow
Slippery streets
Nasty nights
Overcast outside
Winter weather

A New Journal

A New Journal

Today when I write
A new journal I start
Its pages white and bright
Ready for me to pour out my heart

I will write my thoughts
Using my imagination
To create picturesque shots
For the readers edification

The blank pages contain
All the creativity
In my brain

Every possibility

Today when I write
A new journal I start
Its pages white and bright
Ready for me to pour out my heart

Let’s make some art.

My Wife

My Wife

Our paths first crossed in high school. Me, I was the new kid.  She was the established kid. But fate was not on our side yet. We did not meet.

Our paths crossed again many years later. I was flying downhill on my bicycle, wind blowing through my hair, feeling extremely joyful. She called to me as I went zipping by. I stopped, we talked. And from there romance blossomed, opening like a flower feeling the warmth of the sun.

We made our life together. Her my wife, I her husband. As one we met the trials and tribulations of life with minimal strife.

Over thirty years have passed since that fateful day that our paths crossed. Thirty years of marital bliss.

Our love is endless. It has continued on through thick and thin. Our love has grown from a slender thread to a strong hawser. It transcends all boundaries to hold and bind us together.

As one we face the uncertain future. As one we will decide our fate. As one we will continue to face forward feeling the winds of change on our face.

We have our love for each other to guide us.
