Mirror ball

Sometimes watching the light and the cat interact makes the morning.

I get up early enough

To watch the miniature mirror ball

On the Christmas tree

Catch the morning sunlight,

Launch it onto the ceiling

And walls

Dancing spots of light

Better than a flashlight

For the cat.

So many points of light

Keep him occupied

Until the sun moves out of range

And the inevitable nap

Beckons.

Detail

On some days I could spend the whole time... writing.  Details flow like... well... like water.  Sometimes they ooze like honey, creep down volcanoes like lava.  Sometimes details mix together into new details and they seem completely new, even worth a dance interpretation.  Today is not one of those days.  Today is a singular detail day.

Find one detail.

Write it down.

Draw it.

Dance it.

It may very well be

The most important detail

In the world.

It is this moment*s detail

Seen through your eyes.

It reached out and caught

Your attention.

No one else has seen

This particular detail

In this particular way.

It deserves a mention,

More than a mention.

It may even change

The world.

Find one detail.

Write it down.

Draw it.

Dance it.
