Become a puppeteer and dangle observations on nature's stage.
Eavesdrop on human nature and add emotion.
Search for surprises and how the man-made world and nature co-exist or struggle.
A reciprocity develops in personal ideas and philosophy danced upon the outside world and then pulled back inside.
Where does a poem come from?
It glistens at the crossroads of preparation and possibility.
It muscles itself from writing practice to the moment observed.
If it's hiding
search for it
in a spider's dream
or web of twilight.
You might find one
in lemony shadows
that attach to ladybugs
who sway near eucalyptus.
Consider it
in the moon's crackle
blinking past pines.
Discover moments
before stars sprinkle
dusk with a promise
of what we most need.
Do you notice an elephant emerge from the rocks?
Where. might he take you?
Today discover a poem.
You may need to dig in your garden and look under a few rocks.
