The Pieta
May you feel embraced
with a love as light
as the feathers of a dove.
May your tears of crucifixion
be washed out to sea
and transformed into waves
of courage.

Scarlet's Flight
Onyx black eyes
fired with purpose,
knobby claws
tucked under
for flight,
Tanager's wings
embracing the light & the dark.

Hidden and Revealed
The fragrance of belonging
of being hidden
of being revealed
the black mask
illuminating soul

My Home
Beyond how I am seen
Beyond what I see...
In the garden of my eye
there is my home.

Blessed in the Shade
Blessed in the shade
where thoughts may cool,
and feelings find peace.
Blessed in the sunshine
where caramel and lemon-yellow feathers
know that they are loved.

Love's Breath
Azure blue and verdant green openings,
A winged sunrise ~ in the heart
Love's breath
transforming trauma.

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

Balancing emptiness & presence
Following the breath of an impulse

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

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