Prayers gracing the
weathered barn, like butterflies
kissing their shadows

blossoms and birdsongs
hanging in the air
chandeliers and chimes

A flowering
of clouds from sky to sand
and back again

 

Skyful of swallows
Acres of breezy willows
One caterpillar

 From the old ash tree
like joy boiling over
shining gusts of song

first ladybug
holding onto the
first edge of spring

Sea-bluff and seagull
Between uplift and down-flow
Slicing the moment

All the colors
in a single bow
to the Earth

 

clouds —
a brush of ripples across
the whole wide sky

 

A thousand pearls
hanging by a breath ~ light
between storms
