stars softly

stars softly look down

a single distant owl calls

stones wise as lovers

from my wounds

from my wounds
wings grew
deep breath
and love
I flew

beyond the hedge the sound
of children laughing
beyond the bridge the sight
of feathers falling

beyond the sea the sense
of two hearts beating
beyond all time the memory
of your hand in mine

waterfalls split rainbows
flow upwards
the sound of the sea in Aphrodite’s seashell
the rushing of blood in my ears

Stars?
What do I need with stars
when you are in my arms
and I in yours?

if you could pump my arm full of resilience
my heart hard-filled with hope
I would have no need for medicines
and perhaps again I could love

hearts are so flammable
like matches or gasoline
heat love and the oxygen of attention
the eternal triangle
once more

running
thought free
one’s heart travels
to where one longs to be

on Valentine’s morning
in my dreams
I hold you in my arms
asleep
dreaming of warmth and security
and what we shall do
when we awake

What did we do?

(the physical)
(the thoughtful)
(the spiritual)
(the self)

we saw through the sadness
joy
a single diamond in the silence

reflection connection direction
community solidarity

we saw who we are and the people we can be
we brought the different together
and we worked and we worked
and we did what we could for one another

simplicity clarity creativity
feeling healing

we understood as much as we could do
we did all the new that we could
we sensed the taste of the great outdoors
and we fell in love with the world

(the physical)
(the thoughtful)
(the spiritual)
(the self)
