May I be well
Happy peaceful and
Free from suffering
May no harm come to me
May I be safe.
May I be loving and kind.
Loving Kindness MeditationMetta

Spring bubbles with life
spilling over my old shoes
our bare feet refreshed
we walk on an unknown path
who says 80 is old.

Shades of purple
soothe my restless roving mind
as I walk through fields
of fragrant sweet lavender
love and kindness with each step.

My garden
is celebrating today
barren branches
sprouting budding blossoms
the magic of Spring

a cool cucumber caressed my warm lips I melted into nothingness since then everything.

I will wear
a gown of "vibrant green fronds"
unfurled
going in all directions
I haven't decided where to
