A Poem - 2006 NE 36
2006 NE 36
grace place arm on your
inhale, enter and gather
story spread
moments carry wind string
lantern gaze
we all live in the same search
of home and truth
as leaves fall days among
O weary flower,
seeking souls shrine
where journey is done
life is all desire
rise suns and aspire
the enclosure is not in walls
its stories, a gift you give your soul
see it as a envelope
imagined host
you give yourself and your closest
yes, please be here with me
lay of reeds among
talking grass
lay the moon on my chest
let suffer end here
putz feet in rain and puddle
doors stay open
sky clay hammock blue
some homes are swims in a pond
this one is an ease into a pool below a waterfall
warm water with bubbles
a whole self house yes
putter rocks in the driveway
saunter garden teaching trees
dance among candle sang wind
here, do what you always wanted to
fingers strewn among grass and trees
canoe parting reed along lawn
walk in sun soft foot
owl traipse bee willow larch birch
calm quilt
love moves in circles
calm paths gather home and rest
I laid in the lawn and a leaf fell on my head
this home will gather long days
basket window doors hold
trike and wagon will go far wild
here, a heart can see views from which it may never return
birds again, warm in the thermos of trees
sway heart fog gowns inside
coalesced elm history, glass
geese go, “turn time within”
throne window
blessing and prayer
