CELIBACY
To choose celibacy
is a complex question.
I’m trying it.
Let me tell you,
it’s includes a long
lump of questions.
I’m doing it for this life –
the only one I got.
It takes in not bringing
children in this world.
That’s a big one.
I often wonder what that’s like.
It takes in giving one’s life,
one’s time and one’s energies
for the good of others –
young folks, old folks,
those who need love’s attention.
At the end I’ll let you know –
how it went. So far. So good.

OLD AGE
I had to stop and catch my breath,
as the autumn leaves sped by me –
running with the wind – and the kids
playing in the school yard across
the street didn’t notice me either.
Us old folks know the metaphor of
autumn leaves. Winter is coming.
I saw two kids the other day – one
with a blue balloon – the other with
a soap bubble maker. They seemed
to love seeing a balloon or a bubble
floating in the air – but both burst.
Us old folks know the metaphor of
running out of air. Bubbles burst.

SOMETIMES THE IMPORTANT
WORD IS “STOP”.
WORD IS “STOP”.
Some moments
are the wrong moment for talking –
or listening - if that’s what we have to do.
Some moments
both of us both have to become
quiet and say, “We need to talk – but not yet.”
Some moments
we have to take the time to figure out
what we really have to talk about.
Some moments
will finally arrive – they’ll happen
and then the listening will begin.
