As I read through their
Names, I pause and say them out-
loud to get it right
Author: dshollie
It be like that
Sometimes sleep play hard
To get- it be like watch
sunsets and sunrises
Fireflies
Fluttering de-lights
Announcing boldly, shyly
We are here as guide
Moon phases
Moon phase un-phased as
Natural cycles takes it
Around and back home

Gold
Her skin gold dusted
Glimmering in the sun as
She makes her way back
Vacations
Refusing to let expectations
Take from me-
Vacations
Filled with poem reading and writing
A little music playing
Bike riding and friend hanging
Truth telling-
I don’t feel guilty for
Vacations not wasted
Instead gently
Washing over me and
Leaving behind me-
Retrospective looking forward
Today
Laundry dishes dog
Perfect weather for outside
Stroll and simple tasks
Not so hurried
Sometimes we want them to already know
What we know
Sometimes we want them to be who they are going to be
Without know who they are now
Sometimes we try to hurry them
To be who we want them to be
Sometimes we try to hurry them to be
Who we see them as
Sometimes we hurry them along so fast
That they don’t get time to
Play
Rest
Tryout life before
Committing to who
They are
Committing to who
They want to be
Sometimes we want them to bloom
Before they are ready
Perfect
I don’t worry about
Being perfect so much anymore
I choose to be
The night sky
In a well lit city
Still there but
Without all
My stars
Visible
All the time
Journey
Writing, written, wrote
My story winding while I
Walk my sacred path
