Sentient Being











a smart brain circles a new image
whether in snow or sun
the brain knows
yes
no
something to ponder

it stops
wary still
considering
no
maybe
pretty
sure
yes

the same brain
regardless of cranial form
decides
swift or slow
for good
or ill
and proceeds
with its knowing
in a certain
smart
moment

Merry, Holy












merry white the crystal that has fallen from the sky
merry be the holly berry
happy be the birds
holy is the bramble
and the forage for the herds

it is the time, tis the season
snow and cold abide
merry be the shortened days,
the winter
and the holidays

happy, merry, holy, berries
to you
