A Leaf in a Million

Audio Recordings, Nature / tagged Aging, Seasons / July 4, 2021 / by neil_2015_wordpress@neilmeili.com
Could I adopt a leaf in bud and cheer its birth would be all I'd need to know of spring Follow its green shade from dawn to dusk all I'd need to know of summer Marvel at the colours of its fruited wisdom all I'd need to know of fall And when it falls, as all must fall act the un-grim raker

Reversing the Poles

Audio Recordings, Farm, Nostalgia, Ranch Life, Travel / July 1, 2021 / by neil_2015_wordpress@neilmeili.com
With bar magnets and small-town youth growing old Sometimes that which repelled can become that which attracts And telephone lines on the left when you left welcome you back on the right

All that time in the womb mother and baby exchanging cells mother to baby and baby to mother from one to the other and back again One becoming two becoming one becoming two and the two always one It is not the same with the father invited pleasure or invading pain there for a moment and gone again When you bury your mother the worms eat you too

Quick Exit (for Copper and Sharon) You do not have to sink into the earth an inch of pain at a time Though the shock be more for those who grieve a little envy may enter too

Reincarnation by Cloud

Audio Recordings / June 26, 2021 / by neil_2015_wordpress@neilmeili.com
Does the rain falling on us now remember the palmed oasis the emerald lake of the Rockies the laughing over small stones Hand in hand we stand faces upward, wet with hope
