Carrie Richards Poet Sedoka

Fragility

a motionless pond

reflects a fragile sky 

clouds want to swallow the sun

blossoms are small tears

skimming over old wounds

where doves fly against the wind


~
we share the same sun

and as moon touches your face

I wake with tomorrow's dream

lessons we have learned

come not from holding the stars

but from where we share the light
