Cupid

Cupid treads lightly
blending in among people.

No cherub cheeks and angel wings
for this god.

His slender build and youthful swagger,
emanate confidence.

Warned by Venus not to shoot his love arrows
indiscriminately,
his pride insists on moderation.

Teens are seen holding hands,
eyeing each other.
Wrapped in flighty arms of youthful desire.

Couples rendezvous,
inflamed hearts oblivious to their surroundings.
He smiles knowingly.

He sees harried mothers toting hollering tots,
haggard fathers lugging heavy brief cases.

He scans politicians, preachers,
homeless, and actors.

Cupid continues his search.
Waiting for the perfect specimen to sting
with his magical love bite,
wanting to make
his mother proud.

Take Time

Take time to listen
messages are there
what is it you have asked for
requested through prayer

If you don’t listen
how will you know the reply
rushing along through your days
won’t provide answers; tell you why

Rustle of leaves
breezy applause
nature acknowledging
she approves your cause

Geese honking
vee formation across sky
possibly directing
what you ought to try

Sighting playful squirrels
scampering, on the run
when was the last time
you let go, just had fun

Rippling water
continuous flow
changing patterns remind us
we too move rapidly but also need to move slow

Take time for silence
a gentle part of your day
take time to listen
answers are coming your way

A Night at Improv

When was the last time you played?
Really let go of your inhibitions
no inner censor
let loose and had fun?

Silliness? Perfectly okay
trusting those around you –
a required element

To see barriers tumble
to watch body movements
quick on the spot thinking
Worth it!

So many smiles
and laughter

Belly laughs
Tear induced laughs

Everyday burdens lightened
no thoughts of outside worries
no thoughts of what needs to be done or places to go

Just interacting with strangers
people who have come together for the same purpose
to take a chance
to be playful
to release their inner child

It worked!
And was so much fun!

Laughter is good for the soul 🙂
