"but the ball moves"

"Focus on the ball(be the ball!)"
Yet when i go to put my legs up on the ball-
the ball moves.AHA! What you are saying is-
learn from the true nature of things(to change
(he teaches Tai Chi and still learns-
he sings his poems/at Ruta Maya he listens
deeper than most/and comes to share his gratitude
I listen to him between poems
his eyes watch as he speaks/when we next meet
it will be as those who seek
harmonies within the true nature of things
He shares his life when he sings..

HER GIFT IS TO GIVE
so she shares her voice as a prayer
in a wilde world/challenging old paradigms
putting her truth on every line of every song she gives
her passionate protest in higher notes than most
worth more than paper currencies and gold
reaching past all old dull stories told
Bold and bright,she animates Tuesday night
among the open mike -a splash of passionate Light!

COFFEE SHOP CHILDREN
run wilde in the reading-they scream delight
at their parallel community of miniature people
They connect with joy and power-
racing across the concrete poem floor
among the poets and musicians gathered
to hear what lines they may.Children energize via play/they
weave among the tables and chairs/their (single)parents stare
at anyone who would limit their explorations.Fun is in the moving
whether it be via poem,song or dancing.This is an all ages reading
This is an all ages dreaming.
