With time as a constant reminder
.thumbprintpaints.
I return to decide at each point,
To an exercise that both
thrills and completes.
This creation
new piece born,
inspiration truly prevails,
The fullness of feeling.
The excitement of knowing,
thinking is good.
writing is better
The enjoyment lingers,
Sneaking in to check,
Anticipation in seeing a next step.
a next too season
not lately been smiling.
Closer to home new friending,
Final thought concluding.
Just checking
back to seeing
Tired thought rambling,
More forthwith coming.

Set to see

.thumbprintpoetry.

Now June is gone

if and when,

 we can then,

 Call on the past

to be a guide

as how one acts

the need is to express

the measurement of meaning.

That will connect with The purpose,

 until making sense

might not matter.

This all looks vaguely familiar,

follow the lead

in this time and space,

arrival ready when that comes,

as these the moments along the way,

certainty are fleeting,

can be misleading.

What does caution take,

 Afforded these days only a few mistakes.

One may offer

risk only if held too tight.

Time constant we battle

instead of letting go,

Relax when the change comes

tension wares the way it does,

weave the common thread shows,

Insist on spending the time

 as life grows

Nothing happens outside the present

and now is definitely

 the time to make a move

Find the words

.thumbprintpoetry.

Precious few that can touch,

What I want and need.

Feel and breathe,

Follow these the restless thoughts.

Silent has seen its exit as of late

Mistake the noise for momentum.

Gaining the material but loosing the calm.

Balance held dear,

Too much. Holding tight

I am anxious to have dreams coming near.

Shadows of noises that soothe,

Silence of the deafening,

Seek out the words where I find meaning,

Control my issue

 Struggle with

 Thread bearing contention.

Trying to see all that is unseeable,

Trying to direct all that is undirectable,

 the silence

 has no agenda.

Know what is knowable,

Step each one as it comes available,

define the wanting,

Speak if it is useful,

To others in service

Continue the moving,

Passive the force as is

My way.
