Violets of the Sea

Violets of the Sea

As the world is changing
vast bodies of water flow and engage
both to the shores and to the depths
lapping below the surface dolphins swim

Would there be a flow of blue chargers
lazing while the far away stingrays glide
diving inward outward to the flow or tidal waves
landing where the souls incline to cry

Red oh red the sea is raging
sending foam of sediment and carcasses
when the sting of operations takes hold
running dare appendages be found

Landing on the banks with safety found
sand within without these crevices
itching and dare not to stand without the call
as the venture into the seas calls me in

Tushes find a place in rushing waters
once again the sea calls out come in
violets come forth from labored creatures
sea gardens of life will rise again

Ode to My Best Friend

Ode to My Best Friend

They say it’s in the DNA
but when I see you come my way
while I know I purr and you go ruff
we’ve got this thing of the right stuff

Go figure that we are a match
and if you itch I help you scratch
so if we’re off so be it pal
I’ll be with you even when you yowl

Cats and dogs are not a pair
but I will sniff you out anywhere
so let the scientists have their way
but we have our own kind of DNA

A little fact which you may find
kittens have more of the human kind
it doesn’t matter truly true
my DNA isn’t better than you
