Silence sings chorus
Trailing in waves
Over mountain ranges
Always known
Since fair eyes met
A soul awakening
Who you are to me
Some things never change
Fair eyes

Leopard spots
Golden den of orchids
Wavering on windy
Spring day
Appeals to senses
Grow in certain place
Of community
Treasure trove
Of species mingle
In their shade
Who grows around me?
Companion planting
Colourful variety
Though foot and paw
Tooth and claw evade
Safety in numbers
Skin hunger
Five women
All you need
When the world
Is falling in
One had lived
Through similar -
The skin hunger
Is real, she said
Another steeped
In grieving -
Spirituality is
In nature, she said
Third came in from
Left field -
Find your tribe
And thrive, she said
Fourth woman still
Recovering -
Walk with me
And breathe, she said
Fifth one filled
With reason -
Swim in the ocean
And live, she said
Self compassion
Small discreet circle
Of simple spaces
To be completely
Oneself
Trade ins
Today I traded in My mug of faith From whence it came To the thrift shop Racks of garments Wisdom sayings Dust gatherers To be, or don't be Someone you are not A fair exchange A dollar hiking cane To traverse immoveable Mountain ranges When climbing Is the only option

Winding time
Written by the smile
Passing decades ripple down
Toes kick away sandals
Slide to the beat
Tight jeans flowing sleeve
Pink as lip gloss
Loose curls akimbo
She strides to forefront
Glance melts chocolate
Strangers like lovers
Come and go once in time
River bends resist flow
These years gently wind
Slow growth endures all
Still deep in mind
Ode to love
In the wake of turbulent
Departure
To uncertain destination
Left to the present
Place, moment, person
Sheer acts of joy
Tumble, spin, fin
In the eddies
Playfully oblivious
Life and love abounds
Right here
Serendipity
Let go of egoism
Stay in comfort zones
Duvee of dreams
Leave me shivering
Say goodbye to you
In my mind's eye
We were not
What we thought
Bouquet of humility
Crisp in the frost
Overnight
I haven't seen you in
The longest time
Longing for a daily grind
Where warmth of spring
Rays on face kiss
Novel a hymn of love
To me and the world
Our lives unfurl
Light up my world
Exhilirating
Cumulative pain
Drains from body
As I launch
Another escapade
To save myself
From forever losing
That feeling
When I'm with you
