Did not God’s fingers,
Like mine,
Paint the purple mountains majesty
The blue earth’s sea to shining sea
The sky o’er us
Below He/She?
If this is true
Indeed
How can you
Deny
My Divinity?
Really~
You can’t.
I AM.
And you, friend, foe,
Are Too.

You breezed into my life
Gentle,
Warm,
Blustery on occasion,
Sharing moods and meals and deals,
Belly laughs, giggles and squeals.
Mellow and relaxed,
You then taught me to be.
Hallelujah!
I AM lucky,
Tickled,
In fact,
To call you
Friend.

BIG Love by Kim Nelson
BIG.
It is just so ~
This relationship of ours,
Threatening to usurp
All others,
Which,
At times
Seems grand,
But would in reality
Create some havoc
And imbalance.
So Let us maintain perspective,
Admit it’s possible,
That this
Big Love
Is not all that it takes
Is not everything
~ and then some ~
Even if it feels
As if it could be

Oh yes! We each and every one
Taste bitter and taste sweet.
First grimace, pull back in dismay,
Then take it in, replete.
In separateness they overwhelm,
They knock us off our feet.
But if we live with open heart,
The two will often meet.
This juncture, where the healing starts
And where the burning ends
The site of earnest learning,
The place we make amends.
It’s here we learn what’s ours is ours
And others’? Leave to them.
Without malice, judgment, ire or blame
We live, learn;
We ascend
To the pinnacle of our potential.

I considered photographing the image reflected in my screen, but opted for an in-progress shot of one of my paintings so as not to garner a higher than PG rating. :-)
About to jump into the shower as
The muse struck
I ran, naked, to the keyboard
And wrote the five syllable line
That would otherwise have dissipated with the hot steam.
While sitting there,
My sunlit torso reflected back at me in the screen, bare.
“It is beautiful,” I thought.
Yes.
The breasts are slack,
The neck, weather-worn,
Décolletage, mottled with spots.
But it is utterly feminine and firm and strong
And safe within lies the heart of a lion
A big, bold, beautiful lion
Who, in her nakedness, really needs a shower.
