Summer Sonnet: River-Woman
Awakened! I returned a stream in Spring
to flow and grow on nature’s snowmelt milk.
I came to be of earth and sky (...a fling;),
my sire a winter storm. Like liquid silk
emerging, I was born; a water-child.
Between two banks I nestled with my dreams
and bloomed a gAnGLy creek ‘til solstice. Wild
I played— not meek but sleek.

Quiet
Those quiet moments when we have time to look inside of us.
Many times we don't like what we see, we want to improve.
Sometimes we don't see enough, but the most times we don't want to dig inside.

Autumn Wildness
autumn wildness
fall moon corona
rainbows glow through ice crystals ~
silver shadows dance
empty branches sway
hummingbirds search for blossoms ~
twirling gusts ballet
icy crystal winds
blizzards of rainbows take flight ~
sparrows surf whirlwinds
platinum windstorms
howl through evergreen forests ~
stars hide behind clouds
wild unchained torrents
chinooks blast from artic births

Reckless Wildness
Your words of wisdom have vanished.
Suddenly, my chest starts bleeding.
I'm not sure whether I'll be adequately handled.
Throw and forfeit with the void wind blowing.
The flesh is devoured but not healed of illness.
Like a fallen tree floating on the river, I'm swinging.
Chastity has the power to shape my weakness.
I'm weary with singing the hymn of a

Daffodil Rag
Daffodil Rag
Free, at last free
from the desk and that phone –
free to run down the stairs and outside!
All day I watched
spring stretch in the sunshine
from the business as usual office upstairs.
How easy, how simple,
to look at life walking,
coughing, running, holding it’s hat.
How peacefully sheltered
the plate glass tombs keep

Wondering In the Wildness
WONDERING IN THE WILDERNESS
I am no longer toss to and fro,
I am no longer coming and going,
I am no longer being held in captivity,
wondering in the wilderness,
I once had no no direction,
I once had no where to go,
I once never knew my purpose,
I once travled the same path constantly,
Wondering in the wilderness,
leaving my confusion behind,
leaving

A Voice In the Wildness
I hate and I love.
How much I hunger
for the days when I was younger,
for the days when I was really free,
for the days when I was a real me.
And what is happening now?
Has the world turned upside down?
I do not say any more “Wow!”
Nothing surprises me.
I can only realize
this horrible situation
with discomfort and even

Wildness
I felt my thoughts run wild
Was I really a demon child
Thoughts tightened my head grew light
I hoped my expression was on my face right
I absorbed your statement surety taking flight
Your questions growing old
Your coming across as way to bold
So this is the child you stole
Standing here now
