Inhale.
Hold it.
Exhale.
We must not forget
to stop, take a breath,
and breathe.

FILL THE PAGES
Fill the pages of our lives
with words and stories.
Leave no blank pages.
Fill them with people and events.
Stories to tell our children.
Words to light our journeys.
We need to stand in the light.
Enjoy life to its fullest.
It is our right to fill in the pages.
Take the time.
Stop.
Watch.
Listen.
Breathe.
Sigh.
A THANKSGIVING SPIN
Sweet and tasty it may be.
It does not come for free.
Life was given up
For this group to sup.
What are your holiday wishes?
And what could be the side dishes?
Some sliced fingers on a crystal plate
May satisfy your cravings of late.
Enjoy!
Fill in the pages.
Fill the pages with
words and stories.
The world does not
have to be dark.
It does not have to be dreary.
We do not have to be alone.
We need to fill our lives with
people and events.
Stories to tell our children.
Words to light our paths.
No hovering in the darkness,
waiting for our time to come to an end.
But we need to stand in the light
and enjoy life.
It is short and precious.
But it is our right to fill in the pages.
CLEAN ME
Clean me.
Wet me.
Drench me.
Free me.
Feel me.
Touch me.
Clean me.
The doors open.
The elevator is waiting.
Pick a floor.
Any floor.
It doesn’t matter which one.
For it goes to one place.
Up.
Through the clouds.
High above it all.
Where you could let go.
Let your imagination soar.
To new heights.
To new beginnings.
To the impossible.
To the improbable.
Take a deep breath.
What do you see?
What do you want to see?
All becomes possible.
All becomes probable.
Enjoy.

We forget to have fun.
We forget to enjoy life.
We forget the beauty
and the simplicity
of everyday life.
It is full of color
and adventure.
Watch the children.
They don’t forget.
They don’t forget to smell the flowers
or have fun with life.
Be a child for a day.
What if this existed?
What if you could easily find it?
It’s close to home.
You don’t need an airplane,
train,
or car.
It comes complete with
a deserted island,
blue ocean,
sunken treasure,
and plenty of fish.
Bring your snorkels.
Don’t forget to bring
your dancing shoes.
Music is free.
So are knights in shining armor.
Where could you find all this?
It’s all in your imagination.
Sit back and enjoy the view.
