Gratitude Poem #19

What a gift

  To live this life

    In human form!

 

To feel touch

  and wind,

 deep emotion

   like undulating 

     waves on the sea

 

To see and hear

  beauty,

    nuanced and garish

   as it pours through

     and around

       this body.

 It's been awhile, I guess I better give a report!

I'm in a gift season currently, which is fun. For Mother's Day, I wrote mom a list of 50 things about her that I am grateful for. It was fun to think up! Lots of memories came through and it was surprisingly easy to get to 50. I thanked her for my Wonder Woman Underoos. I wish I still had them. 

I had a birthday event this past weekend and made a mix CD for my bandmate, Mr. Random. I always enjoy making these, but this one was extra fun because he wanted 'interesting/weird' music. I figured anything I am familiar with is probably also known to him, so I dove into Spotify and found lots of new stuff. It's a gift for both of us!

In work news, I'm finishing a small set of custom cherry door/window trim for some friends. I'm also about to embark on managing my own payroll rather than going through a service. Math! Details! I'm into it! 

What have you been up to?

Gratitude Poem #7

 Heart of the world

drums her landscape

in my chest.

From her dark hollows

I reach out

on the up beat -

in, on the down. 

Now you are beside me.

We reach out

on the up

in, on the down

 

Loving in synchronous time,

Polyphonous parade of divine.
