Clouds of silvery light
Breathing silent whispers
Within prayers to the Creator
Who knows hearts and souls
And comforts through sweet hope

With reflections...

I fail to sleep by night as

My soul sails away from me

When the first 
snow-white lily 
sprouted from drops of milk
spilled from Hera’s breast

Painting moments in gossamer webs,
Defeated dreams and lingering prayers,
In voices of gentlest grace,

Birthed in halos like milky pearls,
Moonbeams and...

But on condition I carry with me
All that I have learned.

Hidden under the honeysuckle
and hibiscus
Lies a stone.
And as I sit, drinking a gin and tonic
Looking over the spent plates
where crusty bread
