loud summer thunder
the dog jumps up on my lap
the tension's broken

collapsing star
focused; centered energy
paths converge

the small house
time for letting go--
yellow kitchen

through my brain
crystalline sounds drift...
your music

I sit with the goose
who wears the green bandanna
I hold the knitted shawl

the jeweled colors dance
in the bright and airy room
new hope

We beg her--get help!
Horrified, she circles the
wagon of one.

in the cold
optimistic bird
singing loudly

exhausted and still
in the encroaching darkness--
reaching out to God

Moving towards the light,
I drive away from darkness--
rainbow in my rear view.
