chickadees are singing 'spring soon'

i'm collecting rain water off the roof tonight instead of melting snow

middle of february

eyes wide open

seek a love that will change

your relationship to time

smooth your edges

fill your gaps

grows every day

"Time is an enormous, long river, and I’m standing in it, just as you’re standing in it. My elders are the tributaries, and everything they thought and every struggle they went through and everything they gave their lives to, and every song they created, and every poem that they laid down flows down to me – and if I take the time to ask, and if I take the time to see, and if I take the time to reach out, I can build that bridge between my world and theirs. I can reach down into that river and take out what I need to get through this world” -Utah Phillips

i will never stop finding ways to
love you
enjoy you
work alongside you

#LoveLoving #PoetryOfLife

this #poem made me think of you

The Wild Rose
#WendellBerry
Sometimes hidden from me in daily custom and in trust, so that I live by you unaware as by the beating of my heart,

suddenly you flare in my sight, a wild rose blooming at the edge of thicket, grace and light where yesterday was only shade,

and once more I am blessed, choosing again what I chose before

#poetry

i look forward to spending my life showing you my love #PoetryOfLife #LoveLoving #poetry

he cooks for me
an act of love-
each meal a craft
blending old favorites
with new textures & flavors
pushing me
to expand
to explore-

satisfying a hunger in more than my stomach
warming my heart
calming my emotions
soothing my soul

emotional duress taints everything. it zaps my cognition and my desire to do, to be, & to dobe. i miss the magic in my dark fairy tales & my twisted fantasies the most.

3 degrees last night.
he leaves to go add wood to the fire.
I snuggle over into his spot & doze off.
he returns and says "what are you doing?"
sleepily i say, "I'm keeping your spot warm." and wiggle back to my side.
he giggles and replies, "you're dangerous"

yelling at the woodpeckers in frigged temperatures brings me great satisfaction "stop pecking at the cabin" #poetryoflife #poetry #birdpeople #mad #weirdo #birdwatching

raven flew by and squawked. he squawked back. the raven replied. he responded. more squawking-back and forth. a second raven joined. he and the two birds squawked a conversation; i watched and listened grinning ear to ear #birdpeople #birdlover #birdwatching #loveloving #poetryoflife

i kiss him. this time, on the shoulder. he giggles and asks “what’s that for?” this happens a few times a week, daily almost. kissing you brings me a joy i have not known before #poetry #loveloving #poetryoflife

song birds feeding at a feeder on a cold gray morning. Hairy woodpecker pecks at the cabin walls before it moves to the feeder. Inches of, no feet of snow piled around. but the birds. the birds feeding make me smile. #birdwatching #poetryoflife
