GHOSTS
Of course there is no such thing as ghosts.
Yet the people of our past are still walking
with us. They are still whispering to us.
And if they yelled at us they still do
when we break their
rules for us.
Their presence –
their voices -
still sit there in our choices. Solution:
listen to those voices, analyze them,
accept the best and discard the rest.
Easier said than done.
Become our own person while we
still have time and talk to our children
about what we have figured out so far.

THEMES
Do we all have our themes,
the things we’re off on?
Like sports, the weather,
politics or religion?
Or are you like me – a
not knowing myself sort of person?
I’m filled with constant Inner babble
and a million ideas a minute?
I need to sort. Writing helps.
Death is scratching my windows –l
like branches against my house –
but I also want life and a few more years.
Health and food – they are not on my radar.
God, what do you have to say about all this?

A
PIECE OF BREAD
A piece for you
and a piece for me …
and you and you and you….
Pausing us all for a moment
Maybe catching each other’s eye or face.
We stop, we pause, we say a word.
We might say even hear, “Thanks!”
We begin to listen.
We think.
We say, "Thank you."
A piece of bread can do a
lot of peace making.
At least for a moment
Then we might rise - a bit.

A
PIECE OF BREAD
A piece for you
and a piece for me …
and you and you and you….
Pausing us all for a moment.
Maybe catching each other’s eye or face
when doing this and the other wonders.
We stop, we pause, we say a word.
“Thanks!”
It’s like Eucharist – a bit – that is if I bite.
A piece of bread can do a
lot of peace making –
if but for a moment
and then we too rise.
