Dismayed
How did time
pass so quickly
when it feels
like it’s moving
at a snail’s pace?
Like a leaky cup
the days slip by
unnoticed
until you find
the pool of
lost time
on the floor
with the careless
step
of a sock covered foot.

Gideon’s Challenge
On the Worktable
Secret whispers
from the trees
and crystal’s energy
a caressing tease
sigils drawn
and scorched to life
nature’s bits
detritus all
lending their gifts
to my call
some will leave
returned to earth
as others come home
to share their worth

Gideon’s Challenge
Temperance
Gathered snow caps
like little hats
and brittle branches
nipped with cold
dormant trees
wait for spring
as the hiking path
reminds me
I’m getting old
aching knees
as I head downhill
make it sure I temper
the uphill thrill

Gideon’s Challenge
Protected
I stand
at your side
and breathe in
crisp air
and as life moves
around us
like the constant
swirling currents
of a stream
I feel safe
just
because
you’re there

Gideon’s Challenge
To Be Small
I want to feel
small…
small enough
that I can wear
a snowflake
as a hat
and carry
a pine needle
as my staff
as I wander
among the
winter woods
foraging for
fun and frolic
