Hey guys, hope you had a good Chrismahanukwanzaa and an even better New Year's. I have some new poems for you.

Read some Rumi. Felt inspired.

Connection

How can the dragonfly
know the lily pad?

He must land,
and stay a while
to listen
to the sound of the pond.

The River

The house is finally quiet at night.
New year celebrations
have worn our bodies.

Even with a mirror,
it is hard to tell how long
your hair is getting
when it curls under, twists
dreaming of itself.

This is the nature of time.
