Poetry written for the home -
deep amid a passion of trees
complete, like orchids
it is engagement and continuing
circles of the home walk to a beginning
light in the doorway echoes later days
by ways of the glass
we have means of holding the view
a world of bird symphonies remains
inside, in the watch of lamps
the home reveals a roam of open floors
in here beside us, our essence and stare
like pastries or lilacs, spring and sweet
here you know you are held
hope into here
a hand that had home written on its fingers
a walking sun fills here
the rounded wooden door holds the wreath
announcing the season with bow and leaf
you have water stories and wish
let the birds and boards guide your way
being here is laying back in star light
let angles ease curves
consume rest, take nest
you have until you take a place
put a foot in dirt, eye in sky
windows gather
and arms beyond
a constant rose gem wanting to hold you
