A Word in the Woods

Audio Recordings, Nature, Relationships / tagged Affection, Energy, Trust / January 15, 2026 / by neil_2015_wordpress@neilmeili.com

When you
in need or wild abandon
throw your arms around a tree
it is the tree that hugs you back

But don't
be so sanguine with a porcupine

There are people in this world
who live in joy and trust in God
and being with them so do you

And some so filled with static of fear
that your hair stands up when near

Tuning Forks

Audio Recordings, Poems about Poetry / tagged Encouragement, Energy, Inspiration, Vibration / December 7, 2023 / by neil_2015_wordpress@neilmeili.com

When life and writing have
fallen into earth-f illed holes

When bootstraps pulling up
need someone else to pull them

Stafford or Rumi or Nolan wait
a reading away from music again

Humming with Neruda or Oliver or Haf iz
mud falls from boots and stars come out
