Time Flows

Time flows…a quiet stream, a thundering river…
taking us on the sweet and bitter journey
from the light and back again.

Walk soft, bright traveler…dance in the light…
Walk soft…sing your song from the crucible of humanity
to the very heart of the heaven itself…

Walk soft…and swim surely as time…
a warm stream, a bright blue river…flows.

Here's wishing you a bright and bountiful 2009.

Happy New Year, y'all :-)

bread and roses,
Michael K. Willis

We Give Thanks

Our universe binds us, joins and protects us all,
strengthens and enlightens, saves us when we fall...
it keeps us grounded and lets us soar,
it keeps us humble and lets us roar...

For this, respect must be embraced,
for this, duty must be willingly faced;
for this, pride must be humbly surrendered,
for this, thanks must be joyfully tendered...

For the darkness and the light,
for our mighty tenderness and tender might...
we give thanks.

For the stars in the heavens above
and the stars in the eyes of those we love...
we give thanks.

For the songs that give us wing from the start
and the songs that fill the crevices of every heart...
we give thanks.

For the sweet darkness and the calming light,
the amazing warmth of day, the healing cool of night,
we give thanks.

For all this and so much more...
we give thanks;
over and over, we give thanks...
Amen.

Autumn waltzes in on languid feet,
grey and gold, herald for white winter,
I open my arms and, naked and ready,
let it wash and soothe my cynical soul;
I am a child dancing, I am a man singing,
I am a dancer, naked and free,
waltzing with autumn on languid feet.

I’m sitting in my quieter place…the place that nobody knows because I won’t let them…and I’m thinking about you. I’m thinking about the us that we used to be. Lucinda is singing the soundtrack and I’m letting my thoughts dance in the rose-colored light that permeates and caresses the memory fields where we, still and always, linger happily.

I’m in my quieter place…and I’m smiling warmly, nostalgically, only the tiniest bit ruefully as I savor and wallow in and rewrite the dances we did back when we were a viable us.

We ended badly…we ended as well as could be hoped…we ended in a perfect and proper measure of time…we drifted apart in clouds of acrimony...we drifted apart in the benign mist of unintentional neglect.

Whatever…whatever…whatever…the past is past and I’m in my quieter place and I’m happily thinking about you and imagining, with some hubris, that sometimes…every once in a bright blue moon…you’re thinking about me thusly as well.

Lucinda asks the question…are you alright?...and I nod wistfully, only the tiniest bit ruefully, and pray that it is so.

Ah summer, there you are :-) Spoiled Southern Californian that I am I was taking the breezy, temperate season for granted until this week when both the heat and the humidity decided that it was time to go up. Way up.
Oh well, this too shall pass...
The better angel of my nature cajoled me into doing my regular Saturday household chores even though the more devilish voice was urging me to blow them off...I guess I feel like I made the right decision...
I've a number of things that should be getting my attention...they're not gonna write themselves after all...but it looks like my Muse has taken the...oh, let's be charitable and call it "sultry"...day off (chances are my errant Muse will come skulking back around when the sun goes down and the evening turns relatively cool and comfortable...I'll leave a light on :-)
Namaste, y'all.
