I sought out warm pools
To warm my bones
To sooth away tension
Amid geezers and crones
I shed preconceptions
I welcomed the greetings
Of how are ya's and hi's
I floated and dreamed
While the others conversed
Surrounded by calmness
No egos were nursed
-Kelly Voelker
In a moment I could see
What was all a lie
Had been telling me
To fear that which was true
That which was true
Said nothing except
Welcome me and
Introduce itself.
-Kelly Voelker
As new as the sun
Early at dawn
My native amazement in
Self satisfied style
Filled me with daybreak
Potential and smiles
Freshly suspending
This moment in time
To savor the flavor and
Rejoice a while!
-Kelly Voelker

We are coupled for life
Strangers and roommates alike
My physical body and me
Mysteries to each other
Unable to see
Unable to know
The depths of each other
Learning of new things
Surprises and wonder
We will never understand or imply
We will never agree which of us really is "I".
-Kelly Voelker
Always traveling winding round
Faster, slower, success bound
Long is the river of the prime voyage
I'm at the delta of revision
I've brought myself with my sediment
Like the bottom of a wine bottle
All that's left after a rich life savored
To a large and endless horizon
A large body of water, new to me
With no obvious current or direction
I cannot go back up against the stream
So I sit here in the delta
Letting the muddied waters settle.
-Kelly Voelker
