not square one

construction
words drop in the dark
and try to land on firm ground
forming new bridges

large
standing tall, I walk
stretched from the earth to sun
I can fill the sky

You can struggle, yet still move forward.

nameless colours

how to put into words what I am feeling
don't think I can tonight
at least not in a poem
or even poetic words
but I will write anyway.....
I am changing, uncovering parts of myself
I did not even know were there
reluctant to cover them back up
I wear them, a little self-consciously
bright, deep, rich, colours
that I show in bursts, flashes
to those who wish to see

fizz

rising
early this morning
the sunrise, light as champagne
drawing out the sun

that's it, others tried to push their way to the surface today
but that image stayed with me all day
reflecting how I feel inside
reflections of light...life
drawing me out
pulling me in
I rise also

peace

search
I heard you my love
in the quiet of twilight
softly calling me

waiting
my path lies ahead
in dark valleys, on gold peaks
I find you are there

...
the air is clear cold water
I am submerged

stars dance in my hair
while the moon shines
straight to my soul

riding the dark blue waves of night
all doubt has vanished
...
(Trying to find the words,
but choke behind what's proper and expected.
"the truth will set you free",
there's something to be said in that.)

stirred up

landing
the evening rushed by
while the glow left the mountains
and rested in me

...

the pot is being stirred—

stars swirling in amber

as liquid thoughts
glow from the depths

melting the need
for acceptance

...

waltz
we still dance the dance
one circling the other
eyes locked in wonder

and hunger

(I also wonder where these come from. The words approach, and are insistent. clamoring for attention. They are not still until they are where they need to be.)
