Unseen Love
Unseen Love
With prayers in their eyes,
drawn by an unseen love,
beating wings
with everything they have...

Following the breath of an impulse

Inner Oasis
Inner Oasis
An inner oasis
A blue sky smile
A far-seeing eye
A miracle
of innocence.

Sometimes We Are...
Sometimes We Are...
Sometimes
we are the shelter,
Sometimes
we are the lullaby,
Sometimes
we are the orange mango light
& the green reeds...
which sweeten the journey.

How Cherished You Are
How Cherished You Are
If only the music of my reach
If only the tips of my feathers
If only the gold in my eyes
If only the planted stance
of my feet
If only the blue & chocolate
of my soul
could let you know
how cherished you are
and always will be...

Madonna Smile
Madonna Smile
A Madonna smile,
sun lit water droplets
her jewels,
downy feathers
her garment
of humility.

Splash
Splash
Splashing out of the past,
Illuminated grey, black, orange & white...
Wings at just the right angle.

An Ordinary Mallard

An ordinary mallard
transported to angelic realms
in a snowy reverie.

Bluebird,
as you fold
your wings,
the wind rustles
your feathers,
your mind is still.

Singing
Singing
Singing the song of plum & lilac,
Suspended in a glistening moment,
Balancing on the edge of nectar.

Grief Flying
Grief Flying
Reaching for the unknown
with open water
reflected in our eyes.
Grief flying our wings...
each muscle burning...
Burning sorrow
into flight.
