Smile of purity

Like the innocence of a baby’s smile,
or children at a playground,
the rabbits in my yard,
the locusts song in the trees,
rain pouring down the roofs…
purity.
Fossilization

I don’t know what separated
you from the rest,
nor do I care to know.
It was something about you
That stood out,
leaving an impression that is still
fossilized in my mind.
A living room arrangement

Owning furniture is a sign of settlement.
My nomadic tendencies dominate.
Hunting & gathering,
materialistic signs of permanence
have no home in mine.

How long can I keep moving?
It’s not about the furniture – its about commitment.
It’s not about commitment, it’s about a way of life
that I have never known otherwise.
NOTE: I was moving every 2 years for work and never owned much of anything. Now I finally own some furniture and don't have an interest in relocatiing anytime soon.
