Party Favors

Silently unfurling
Sunshine and warmth for breath
Celebrating the dormant cold
Quietly and alone
Like me as snowflakes and
Mercury tumble down around.

Morning clouds quickly
Overcame the
Flame at the edge of the world.
The gray day is a
bellows igniting a
Flowery inferno.

I Am Calmer Than You
_____________________________________
I am immersed in panic buzzing
Am overwhelmed by to-dos not done
Calmer days ahead they assure me
Than(ks) but I’m making calm today’s goal
You remain waiting for peace to come.

Remember Your Kindness

Remember that time long ago when
Your heart was emboldened by gentle
Kindness? Reflect that into your life.
