June Senryū ~ 2012


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
