To the Water

 

-------To the Water-------

 

In the dusk 

approaching

 

The peepers sing

 

An ode 

to the water

 

An ode to spring.

 

-------

Very Well

 

-------Very Well-------

 

It had never

occurred 

to me

 

Before the hoe 

found my hands

 

That the weeds 

of life 

need not take over

 

But when tended to

not cussed or avoided

 

Can very well

become 

like friends.

 

-------

Stars That Fill

 

-------Stars That Fill-------

 

Like the stars that fill 

a new moon sky

 

The light 

each hold

within us

 

Is ever-burning

and always there

 

Just awaiting 

the world 

to see.

Spring

 

Change

she said

God

is 

Change.
