your palm faces down

reach, spread your canopy

clear the clouds of thought

sometimes luminance

and your fractal being – now

in growth together

in my cup, coffee

to journey beneath the stars

and talk of the birds

your life has texture

bring brown creepers to focus

and breath in this life

you harbor beauty

can become tangled in lines

you — vast and beyond

let yourself be here

while reaching over a stream

and empty of self

I feel this blanket

the air that circles the earth

singing of glory

I am so grateful

a battle-ready sentry

clouds gather to speak

little hummingbird

wrap and hug life that once was

iota of life

you must bury things

chaffing ice in the sun’s warmth

you see a chicken

why isn’t solstace

you tripped me, floating there. but

of an inner light

sustenance I made

your calls and antics amuse

ever evolving

how the light alone

that demands sugary treats

the spring surprises

even the clouds long

gulping berries at sun set

harbinger of spring

such perfection is

tease me with the gold to come

of the kale flowers

I found you — fallen

with youthful minds in my home

at the lowest point

dive deep into waves

curve down the spine of our sky

depth has no meaning

the muddy puddles

fractals into more windows

of what surrounds you

walking random paths

creative, curious, joy

a light before dark

look up — perspective

vivid inner gratitude

tied for each refill
