Love is kind.
Love lives on
in heart and mind.

Homecomings and Goings

Come home to me, my child; come home.
Dance on the words of a mother’s poem…
stepping-stars across the sky,
shining bright to draw you nigh,
spun from gossamer and love,
heart-notes sent to heaven above.

I know that you are busy now
with things to learn and do and see;
but when you find some extra time,
might you draw close and bide with me?
Fingerprints of You

I’m writing with your pen today,
the one that filled your hand.
So many things I need to say,
so few I understand.
Sisters Weekend

It started with Moonlight
and Valentino and candles,
with life rushing by
us, eroding our
edges too fast.
Soul Substance

The spirit finds home
inside warm flesh and bone,
taking ownership,
giving direction.
Should the formula fail,
appetite will prevail,
driving action
without due reflection.
Hold Fast to Hope and Fireflies

I used to have a firefly inside me,
a certain spark against the dark of night,
her wings translucent threads of hope and dreaming,
her glow as magical as soft starlight.
Secrets of the Sea

When my own tides are at low ebb,
I stand beside the sea.
Bright waves of truth I used to know
come washing over me.
