cottonwood seeds
adrift on the wind
living things
brought forth alive
as on the sea’s
changing tide
relentless in their need
to find safe harbor
cottonwood seeds
clinging to the thistle
purple flower bright
caught in the storm drain
fluttering
from the car vent
resting on a dashboard
relentless in their need
to find safe harbor
cottonwood seeds
in piles by the curbside
soft as downy feathers
white as the newly
fallen snow
safety in numbers
relentless in their need
to find safe harbor
a cottonwood seed
catches an updraft
as birds in flight do
coasting for miles
from where it grew
a patch of earth
to take root
relentlessly it’s come
to find safe harbor

So good to see you Marja. I have not forgotten you at all but work as been all encompassing in recent months so I do not get to my site or others very much. I hope you and your family is doing well.

Thank you for coming by. I am visiting dad in CA. He will be 91 this year but has dementia issues. They are not severe so he has good days and not so good depending on how much sleep he gets. But then I am the same way and only 61. I do hope everything is still going well. Keeping you and your mom in my thoughts always and sending you Angels. Take care.
