Casting eyes ‘cross garden,
Then looking b’yond I see
The desert, pure and natural
Greeting, inspiring me
I’m grateful
For glittering eyes
Green ones

Casting eyes ‘cross garden,
Then looking b’yond I see
The desert, pure and natural
Greeting, inspiring me
I’m grateful
For glittering eyes
Green ones
I shall shelter, store and nurture
All my inner treasures, true
In the red house, wee and wondrous,
That I share with just a few.
It’s a place of warmth and comfort
Every inch of it imbued
With good will and peace in concert,
Safe abode for me and you.


“Tell me, what else should I have done?
Doesn’t everything die at last, and too soon?
Tell me, what is it you plan to do
with your one wild and precious life?”
~ excerpted from”The Summer Day“
by Mary Oliver
I will not falter,
Crater or fail.
I have big plans
I AM not frail.
I shall prevail.
~
I plan
To live big, know my mind, speak my truth
Love beyond limits, be both proper, uncouth
I plan to embrace opportunity, chance
Plan to create family, joy and romance
I plan to live long, or perhaps short
Really ~ who knows?
But regardless
I plan
♥
To embrace,
Knowing
I chose
This
Way
This wild and precious wonder.
No regrets
