opening myself
is a long journey home
swimming through stars
don't forget the strength
of imaging your life
amid the dreaming
19 August 2017
calla lillies smelled
like death, mourning, and sadness
til they laughed again
18 August 2017
wonders live beyond
when our human bodies fold
into dust and earth
16 August 2017
sun song softens south
suddenly slipping sideways
slow summer salute
15 August 2017
mountains of earth news
interrupt the morning sun
sliding through green leaves
when women are called
to be heroes of their lives
full of adventure
when women are called
to be heroes of their lives
full of adventure
morning adventure
journeying to seas and back
on my winged steed
morning adventure
journeying to seas and back
on my winged steed
again the night came
leaving words inside of me
aching to be born
those things that happen
in the middle of the night
are unseen not lost
my home is which glows
with warm candlelight and smoke
dusky morning dew
did you go away
or simply hide with the moon
playing as the sun
I hope I soften
as I realize this life
was always over
when did I begin
to not notice my breathing
and forget my heart
call the trees homeward
welcome their leafy embrace
with branches of love
call the trees homeward
welcome their leafy embrace
with branches of love
preamble to day
listing in on wretched wings
of nighttime wand'ring
wonder ev'ry day
about becoming the land
and being water
