MAY (revisited)

 

in realizing it is, yes, the very last day of MAY,  i was reminded that last year on this day i wrote a little poem and shared it with you.  i thought it might be fun to re-share since so many of you are new, and….. well, it’s a good reminder and i seem to need a lot of those.  so here it is, followed by a few more highlights from the taos trip, which occurred during the month of MAY.

MAY

 i squeeze the handle of the sifter one more time

and the flour that was the month of may

drifts down into the bowl of my life

leaving its faint cloud of dust

lingering in the air.

as i wrap the memorial day flag

and stash it in its hiding place

until its next appointed showing

a thought tiptoes across my mind

a thought that asks

if i lived as fully as i could have

or if i settled for grape juice

when i could have had wine

the moment beckons me

to plunge beneath its depths

to move beyond a mere skimming of the surface

to sink….deeper…

into a reality where i have been a guest

but never a citizen

i release all that i know

simply let go

and for a brief instant

i feel the connection
