Your Color is Hope
“Moon Song” Used with Permission of Artist Lisa Telling Kattenbraker
Your color is hope,
birdsong on sunbeams,
a peaceful night’s sleep,
a bittersweet violin air,
raindrops on cottage roses
in full-spiced bloom,
the last snowflake of May,
and the urge to sail
over blue-green waves
with moon-drunk words
on my lips, tasting hope.

Self-Portrait as Wildflower
Late snow or early heat,

Rising from fragrant soil,
toe-deep in reverie,
surviving drought,
negligence and starving deer. Continue reading
Dreaming Inside
Flying Away, Used by Permission of Sath
We fly past the stars on silver wings,
rushing wind without and within.
All of life unfolds its answers
until we wake.
Alone.
