away...

How do you go about taking a vacation from yourself?
Not an extended one, just a short holiday - day trip perhaps.
Gain a different perspective.

"Searching my heart for its true sorrow,
This is thing I find to be:
That I am weary of words and people,
Sick of the city, wanting the sea."
Edna St. Vincent Millay

the hunt
I move from myself,
swiftly approaching a dream
quiet as a cat

wake-up to words

Up late night, mind already spinning.
Makes me wonder what goes on while I'm sleeping.

2 AM
thoughts spin through dark
leaving me searching for words
colliding in air

A morning ritual, looking up at the last of the night....

visitor
a shooting star shines
sailing across the horizon
right up to my door

I feel a gift has been given me,
each I look up and see a shooting star.
And I do see one, almost every time.
A wealth of starlight.
