Magpie Tale-In the Garden of Eden

the whirligigs fly
high
dandelions float
up into the deep blue
sky
the lark
mourning dove
and thrush
sing harmony
dreams born
in the early morning
rays
warm green breezes
of leaves just awakened
from slumber
shimmy and shake
the whippoorwill
carries the day
into night
the song of the possible
glistening in a darkening sky
hope
like a falling star lands
in the palm
a prayer
for those gone
for those near
and far
St. Francis
you know who
they are

Magpie Tales-Born

Life is easy
Living work
The weight
Your future
Rests in my hands

Heart beating

Against my breast

I hear Elsa roar

The four winds blowing

I can only teach and hope

Hold tight

Knowing the path is long

Letting go

My heart beating

The roar in my ears

I kiss the earth

As I watch you

Walking

Away

Magpie Tales-Awakening

Walking through fields of lilacs

With you

Awakened my heart to what is possible

A scent that I carry with me

No matter the season

Red Christmas cactus

Blue morning glory

I can see all the colors of life

Found love

Because you took the time

To see me

I discovered a soul

So close to mine

His thoughts answer

My questions

Phoebe Snow-Poetry Woman

So hard to imagine her gone, I envision her singing with her daughter Valerie up in the clouds-free and smiling...peace be with you, Phoebe.

Blessings

i thank You God for most this amazing

day; for the leaping greenly spirits of trees
and a blue true dream of sky;and for everything
which is natural which is infinite which is yes

(i who have died am alive again today,
and this is the sun's birthday;this is the birth
day of life and love and wings:and of the gay
great happening illimitably earth)

how should tasting touching hearing seeing
breathing any-lifted from the no
of all nothing-human merely being
doubt unimaginable You?
(now the ears of my ears awake and
now the eyes of my eyes are opened)
