Joyous song recalls
Pining anticipation
Promise of new birth
Nesting compulsion
Nature breeds patience
Day night watch
No claim to it
Power of its own
Flown

Window of opportunity
Peering through into
Your world now mine
Illuminating
Now to find
The key to latch
In the dark
Hiding under layers
Ancient wallpapers
Generations
Foundations
The same
Women endured
Loneliness
Female company
The only cure
Gateway
To wilderness
Built by hands
Bound in chains
Heart also
Only opens from
The outside
Entwined
I hold myself
Walking down street
Speaking to strangers
As if dear friends
I hold thumb between
Two fingers
Capturing the sense
That I am me, not them
Knowing full well
Where the boundary is
Where my body ends
And yours begins
Yet the fingertips
That stretch back
From my mind's eye
Touch yours and hide
Nestled in a hollow
Where no one can reach
I entwine with you
As if strolling through
The parting tide
Ignores the wall
Between earth and sea
Too timid to dive
Admiring the view
From low water line
Signals lost in fog
Along the way
Holding onto mine
Sheltering
A time for adventure
Blistering cold and heat
A time for restoration
Distraction, diversion
Show me another way
Through the thickets
Deep immersion
A time for shelter
Closed cabin
Four walls
Cocoon
To reform
Break out
In good time
Reborn
Blossoming
As seasons unfold
Each a gift
New openings shown
None more enduring
Than one to admire
But not to own
Take me away
Tumultuous images
Whip through forest glades
Of my afternoon daydream
Real life happenings
Unrelenting
Where to turn for comfort
Assurance the world
Is still beautiful?
All is not lost?
Confounded
A flash of snowy white
Glistening pink
Ripe and soft
To touch, I imagine
Delighted
No justification needed
To escape by reaching
Hopeful fingers toward
Your hand in my imagination
Elation
Weather with you
Dreaming of blue skies
Long days lazy brew
Wandering eyes and steps
Mine beat, yours rhythm
Every story lingers
Over place spoken
An apparition
Curb, water view, spire
Waiting for intoxication
To fade so to take leave
Back to families
True stories entwined
Seen to be believed
Looks exchanged
Plastered smiles
Parting my clouds
Until next time
Love like
Snow melt
Held captive
Many months
First a cadence
Overtaken by rivulets
Tracing their way
Through frozen caps
Underneath shimmering
Carving out
New landscapes
Courses join hands
Tumble to the sea
Cast out in pale blues
Foamy white curls
Atop mountain dew waves
Processing through
Daffodil mouths open
Corridors of new life rise
As if never seen before
Or again by these eyes
Loving never leaving
‘Nothing is absolute
Frida Kahlo
Everything changes
Everything moves
Everything revolves
Everything flies
And goes away.
I am that clumsy human
Always loving
Loving
Loving.
And loving.
And never,
Leaving.’
Precious
Waves of whitewash
Gently tumble with sand
Could be anywhere
In the world
Colour of ocean blues
Somewhere tropical
Azure, opal, sapphire
No gem compares
Worth beyond all lands
Ocean holds beauty
Ancient mysteries
Never revealed
Count the stars of heaven
