No barren stone has troubled me,
nor field that yielded little worth;
I fear the richer soil may be
too eager in its patient birth.
For every root that seeks the sun,
another learns the darker art;
the #fertile earth makes room for one,
then quietly prepares the heart.

certainty rides
a following sea –
home was never farther
than a sturdy rudder,
but memory is less compass
than tuning fork.
the #chaos i carry –
those lightning strikes
on a roiled shoreline,
sailing into the unknown,
Calypso’s tears
still wet
upon my cheek.

There’s a beautiful quiet between words,
Like a silence touching
And tending my scars, to..wholeness,

Between Breaths
The world
teaches us
to notice movement.
The soul
learns
to trust
what moves quietly.
Morning
does not hurry
the mist.
The lake
does not rush
the light.
Everything
arrives
when it is ready.
So much of life
changes
between breaths.
Not loudly.
Not all at once.
But in the silence
where one version
of ourselves
gently makes room
for another.
#Tend to worry deeply,
Too much some might say,
Found it rooted in me,
Bullies get their way
People of compassion,
Feel a little hurt,
Kindness out of fashion,
What will our children learn..
