Feeling rather flat today
Not entirely my self
Sense the need to censor some
Not always best for health
My energy has drained away
Left with lesser silhouette
So hopefully tomorrow frees
And refills me sans regret.

Balance tumbler
Stumble mumble sum
Beast be-grumble
Giant bumble
Beseech humble
Fumble crumble
Behold a handsome stole

Cut Out
Everything else is separate, I hear
Separate from what I can do
My skills, my knowledge
of profession at hand
That’s separate from
All that I am
All that I am is
A package deal, I say
All that I am not separate
For where would the line be drawn
To cut me from
All that I am?

Cindy Lu, what happened to you?
You’re all grown up and then some.
In tiny steps one
After the next,
You’ve covered quite the distance.
Once a tot,
A teen, then not,
You’ve really grown quite handsome.
So, what for you? Now something new?
You’ll act your age for instance?

Mercy and judgement bide
for final word
whose will will be
judgmental mercy or
merciful judgment?
Both.
Neither.
Does judging judge
judge herself or be
judged by others?
Both.
Neither.
Have mercy.

Hands gone
Arms missing
Too many tricks to master
She’s lent them out
Now overdue
Tasks she can’t do faster

Tough, girl
Fist to fight
Pound impatience
Spin in spite
Silly tantrum
Terrible two
Life’s not fair
What to do?

Baby Bundle
Precious gift from God
Your stay seems much too brief
Your spirit present
Touches us still
Reminder in heartfelt grief
Of radiant soul
Each a child are we
Sent as a package unique
To love and be loved
In the light of the Lord
Comfort and guidance we seek.

Be here
To say
Some crazy
Lazy way
Today
Maybe

Box Child
Block gaze upheld
Resist all cruel distraction
Proud view, unbending fear
Stunned numb
Safe limitations yielding
Extended stance in flight
Escapes
Expression wielding.
