How Do I Love Me?

How Do I Love Me?

A  How do I love me let me count the ways?
B  Like a soothing wind that gently sings,
B  Like Comorants sailing above the Caspian Sea,
A  Like butterflies on a summer day,
A  Or graceful trees on a winter day.

B  Like a peaceful night that always brings
B  Rest and energy during the Spring,
A  Like the genius behind Shakespeare’s plays,
C  That still inspire  us 400 years after,
A  And make us appreciate Elizabethan ways,
C  The puns that elicit so much laughter.

I value the pleasure of risk and chance.
And move through this day like a graceful dance.

(with a nod to Elizabeth Barrett Browning)

No One (c)


No one

can love you

better than you do.

No one

can heal you

better than God can.

No one.

The Offering

It was in France
last year, 
When a gentleman offered his arm
As I went down some stairs.
A strong arm --
To keep me from falling.
To keep me safe.
Later, I cried,
As I remembered that kindness.
