Each year I plant an herbal garden
very near a stand of mulberry trees
and every Spring when they're in bloom
they attract butterflies and honey bees.
This morning, as I tended the sweet basil,
a young Monarch landed close to my hand.
Then, a cloud of them swirled around me,
and flew back to the mulberry trees to land.
For that moment I dared not move an inch,
mesmerized by the wooshing of their wings.
It was so memorable, that I'll never forget.
Their humming was like a song Nature sings.
I watched them flutter. Thirty, maybe more
before clinging on to leaves of vibrant green.
Their bold colors of black, orange and gold
looked just like petals as I watched them glean.

I love you rain
Come at me
With your sparkling
Diamond splashing
Water baguettes
Diamondize me
Lick me with your
Splishering diamond joys
I love you rain
Come at me
With your portly portable pumping poetry
Flitter pitter patter buoying boosty banter
Pouring snoring, roaring soaring, jumping jets
Splitting swishing swashbuckling glitzy gorgeous glitterama
Blinging blanging clanging gluey golden glory
Air cleansing wooing wooshing wooting wind friend story
I love you rain
Come at me
With your dancing
Deftly dangling diamonds
Unfurl glowing skies
Flights of soothing cries
Your micro thunder
Kiss parade bluster
Skywide rosary seeds
Natures prayer leads
Meditation chi gong traffic
Micro hugs of time's fabric
I love you rain
Come at me
With your awe inspiring
Diamond light cracking crackling kisses
That sharpen, brighten, spin, shower, empower
The kaleidoscopic bright lips of faceted light!
Nurture us all, fill us all, with your connected inside out love!
Load us up with your resilient diamond fiber winks & glows
Quiet slinging sure serene silent super strength that guides the cosmos
I love you rain
Come at me

I love you, Daddy.
Sunshining walks, wooshing bike rides, coldly splashing summer games.
Sweet singing me to sleep
Wraped in the bear hug of your love—
Smile, I’m your little girl.
I am you:
I have your eyes, your thoughts.
The tears that the ferocities of my irrationally have pushed form my eyes
Are wiped away by your calming words and caring fingers.
Coffee shop singing, dinnertime laughing, tv show watching;
Wake up to a caramel machiotto made just for me.
Where are you, Daddy?
It’s cold here, and grey.
All the color has been sucked out of this day.
Incomprehension swirls in my brain.
My friends have turned on me
And I don’t know why.
Hard words crack my soul.
Harsh whips break my bones.
I have been brought here in my naked humiliation
To die.
The world is watching me die.
Why are you watching me die?
I can see you.
I scream to you—
Help, save, hug me.
Look at me.
Then, I hear you
And your words hit with the devastation of a tsunami:
“I hate all that you are.”
The force dislodges a torrent of memories, filled with bright love
They flash in my mind, they flow out and away.
Daddy, why don’t you love me?

Eyes close
Swirling flashes
Fading lights
Or nebula
No longer
Stationary
Into the void
The undulation
Of prime energy
Wooshing
To stillness

Constant 'wooshing' noise
Through a broken car window
Driving me insane
