regular worries
time well spent
effort expended
are we bright enough
are we bold enough
money
money
money
you say people are horrible
you live in darkness
for me
racing thoughts
fleeting anxieties
give way to small moments
sweetness and light
half full
our daily soundtrack
humming
beeping
chirping
whistling
(an inappropriate tune)
paper dolls meet scenery
with a happy song
fight song
victory song
living in an art house
(never stop drawing)
big words
big ideas
big plans
kiss me
kiss kirby
kiss yoshi
kiss purple lamby
kiss me
butterfly kiss
eskimo kiss
forever kiss
crinkled nose
kisses
window silhouettes
(see me)
sharing words
reading aloud
snuggle up
my face entangled
in whisper fine hair
lulled by sweetness
dozing off
you arouse me
urgently
your hair in my eyes
i embrace you
hazy dream
wakened
little voices
and it begins again
hurt one cries
mama I liked you holding me
you say people are horrible
you dwell in darkness
from my place of light
i can be strong enough
strong for her
strong for them
for you
for us.

small moments matter
Maybe it's the approaching holidays, or the wistful brevity of daylight, but I am feeling the strong desire to focus inward, on kids, family, light, love, all that. All the good. Here is a poem I wrote a while back for my friend Nichole, as part of her Small Moments Mondays series. I wanted to see it again, to feel it again. So here it is. It's called Small Moments.
