thoughts rushing rivers | illusive as butterflies | defy capture
words simmer under | suffering in silence | while waiting to heal
those distant cousins | stars that beam down through night clouds | telling us they're home
when money is speech | poor people must raise their voices | to be heard
she forgets | everything that just happened | all is forgotten
my father you're loved | no time or space changes heart's | mind over matters ♥
so shifty shadowed | luck a trick of light | it's all in the perception
mixture of light | rain seeds and earth birthing | new life possibilities
water is a jewel | when it is all gone | when the faucets have gone dry |
we panic in its absence | scurrying like little ants
love your life | give thanks for all that blesses you | even the smallest gifts
her iceberg heart thawed | to lakes icy cold and blue | edged in lupine
her hands made of stars | her smile brightest sunshine | her skirt swaying tides
water lifeblood of the people | birthright of earth's children
to dissolve past hurts | a thousand hugs and much love | the will to let go
a thin line of red | peaks out from behind the clouds | births this day's sunrise
my mother's face | in the mirror amazes | me gazing at her
oh rose moon | a time for picking strawberries | fine like red wine
