This could be fun :)
presence
of the body, in the soul
woman is made and known
beyond the sight
alone
a moment’s breath
life, liquid
welling deep into invisible bone
of the body, with the body
curving, slopes are borne
high and heavy, known
a moment’s step
smooth along the palm
holding, holding
of the body, with the soul
silk and velvet, living
a moment’s sight
open rays in stars, shining
knowing, knowing
known.

small miracles
sometimes you find
the miracle already happened
before you even saw it
for what it was
sometimes the spark
lights up a fire so high
so bright
you know the warmth first
before you decipher
the flame, the light
sometimes life is made of
small miracles
piled up
one on top of the other
helping you, quietly
to make that sudden leap
and then it’s just that:
your life.

life and time
asleep in the rise
of a star
set against light
passing
in lifetimes, twinned
against systems
nebulous
as far as they are wide
daunting
we circumvent
a sun
one look
the night sky
and the past gazes
back, calmly
ancient is the dark
that holds our sun
light so holy
so necessary
to us all
as we go
gently, gently
into that good
night
so bright
stardust, twinkling
alive.

first of summer
 
 
green golden meadows
spread lush out
into the sky
seamed dark by cool pines
lemony white
a butterfly
fluttering in bright bushes
over at the birches, an argument
one nest chirps, the other disagrees
and two cats doze in the sun
listening
while mother and daughter
walk by quietly
one calm, the other happy
that first taste of ice cream
remember?
how the days go by
peaceful, serene.
