Poetry written for the home |
before we love, we search
a roof gathers and drips to pond
a cared home or good person moves still water
to send out ripples of release
levity sighs enter peaceful embrace
we find home, one ring of flowers in the window
two songs of blossoms in yard, three doors saying love
enter a settling neighborhood
sequoia arms host stories climb
a search of relevance and place
to stand barefoot among thread
heed dew in lawns arms
closest thing to a home is a tree
ripples of time stretch in tree muscle
this home sculpture of curving time
is fertile soil for foot planting
wood floors piano calm host peace
spaces of relax carry among rooms
hammock arms grace garden
slow flow among house calm
brings to the foreground
the heart of home, hearth circles
the door opens, you lay your burdens down
