Wait For Me!

If time would slow down

– just a little

I might be able to catch

up, to make my bed, get

the laundry done, buy some

groceries, even cook a meal

Instead I’m running

behind, late, feeling like

Alice – down the rabbit hole

into the looking glass

Always one step away from

the latest trend, slang, fashion

If time would slow down

– for just a second maybe

I wouldn’t have lost you

Moon Garden

we planted by the

light of the moon

guided by the pearly translucence

when the astronomical signs

say earth is most fertile

and results premium

ignoring the whirligig doublespeak

of scientific gurus

How to Catch a Star

Step outside on a clear summer night

Cast your eyes upward to see the light

Of a million stars in the dark firmament

The gow of lost planets already spent

Close your eyes tightly, breath in, breath out

Empty your mind – earasing all doubt

That those pinpoints of light are too far away

For your small earthbound finger to stretch out to play

With the sparkling wonderful magic in space

Trust your heart, look at me, find your star in my face

She’s he’s left me here

All by myself

No thought of me

Food on a shelf

One lousy toy

A Christmas elf

TV turned off

Just for herself

Said she’d be back

Don’t trouble oneself

I won’t be here

All by myself
