Something I know

The spaces in between

Alice

A tribute to Sandra's friend Alice 

I'm lucky because 

I was able to 

paddle 

alongside you,

if only

for 

part of the way.

April Echoes

Spring officially begins in just a few days, and April is just around the corner! 

April echoes through 

     magnetic walls

laced with salt and bitter

roots. 

I will wait with you 

under skies of cream,

content to 

make sense 

of seabirds who fly East 

and stars that 

twinkle till morning.  

The Soul's Garden

The Soul's Garden 

the soul's garden reveals 

when it is full of grief or love,

unable to hide in the shadows 

open like a mystic's eye

that even when closed 

knows how to see

Grace and Grief

A poem for Anais Nin (on her birthday)

A poem for Anais Nin (on her birthday)

born 

on the border 

of fish    and  

water bearer 

   you were not afraid

to caress 

your own soul 

in the name of love
