Little Bird

-------Little Bird-------

Longing

to be-

long

I step up

to the edge

of comfort

To where

my silence

ends.

And like the little bird

Who understands more

than they 

already know

I lean 

from my nest

into the darkness

And trust these wings

to bring

me home.

-------

Rests Upon Me

-------Rests Upon Me-------

Moonlight

shines

through a break in the clouds

And rests,

still,

Upon 

this turbulent 

sea.

-------

Abundance

-------Abundance-------

I abound you

with harvests

from these branches

For you have,

my love,

Been the light

that encouraged them

to grow.

-------

The Space Between

-------The Space Between-------

Like the space

between notes

brings form

to music

It is from absence

that we 

can learn

what makes us whole.

-------

Tourmaline

-------Tourmaline-------

Like the salt

called

from tourmaline waters

We are 

the children

of our mother.

The prayer

that brought us

into this world

Will

forever 

be remembered

As we forgive

into 

the rhythm

Of moonlight

and

the Sea.

-------

Colors Are Changing

-------Colors Are Changing-------

My body is held

and my mind 

let free

By the change

that Autumn

conveys.

Life 

is far 

too precious

To cling 

to the safety 

of routine.

For the colors are turning

And I 

am a leaf

On this

hillside

unfolding.

-------

Reflections in Autumn

-------Reflections in Autumn-------

It is magic

How

When you allow

the light 

inside 

to shine

The entire 

forest

turns 

gold.
