Through the tall window
I watch clouds wandering by
Majestic and free
Through the tall window
I watch clouds wandering by
Majestic and free
Sunrise. No, sunset.
Hours pass like flocks of birds
Frightened by loud noise.
Alone, I am tranquil
Beneath oak trees illuminated
With morning light
Deer step carefully across my path
Seeking tender blades of grass
Brought up by the storms
Birds chirp from high branches
Out of sight, out of reach
Free to sing their own song
Here I rest on this wooden bench
Unfettered for a short time
Free to write my own story
The fog. The wet trees dripping water down the backs of our shirts as we walk.
The library. Print this. ..then this… read by next week.
The preschool. The bustling, loud, sweet children. The director. My schedule. Encouragement.
My child!
The grocery store.
The Christmas lights at the houses of the rich.
Pie.
Listening for Fall
On my back gazing upward
Dry leaves rustling
Brilliant twilight sky
Outlining the pure, dark form
Of oak trees above
Clouds blanket the earth
Against your chest, I lie still
Breathing in and out
The smell of play dough
In the carpet while I do
My yoga session
Wind through the oak trees
Soft notes rise into the air
From a lone guitar
