TRILLIUM CLOISTERED
As the longfingered sun
reaches out to touch
a cloistered trillium
or a lake trembles in
the light of moon and stars
so can a poet's long rainbow
of words
play our heartstrings from afar.
WIND DIASPORA
Dandelions:
sunwed weeds
scattering their
windwed seeds
SHEPHERD'S VOICE
The lighthouse which warns of rocks
The star which guards by night
The compass needle which points to north
The native pathfinder through
trees to the light
Calling through the mist
the welcome foghorn
The ship arriving upon the horizon
morn
this is what.. she is to
her loved ones.
(to Ruth G. G.)
ENLIGHTENING MOON
"Last night the moon
came dropping her clothes in the streets"
said Rumi.
others enlightening
her own load lightening
