She Knew

you have to journey

     through rough fires

to be able to stay in

     this world

is the journey

     worth it ?

she knew 

     it was when

     as she notices

     the rivers of rain falling

across a dark granite wall

     and

she knew 

     when she hears

     the music of thunder

she knew when

     on a rainy day she

was able mellow 

     and dream

     she knew when she 

     felt the

yes yes yes

     and let her mind

     wonder 

Lost Her

I have lost her  …..

Where did she go?

I know she is gone.

I don’t know where.

I miss her.  she is/was

so much a part of me, 

I try 

hoping to find her again.

trying to remember 

what made her come … 

what made her go

so I can find her again

but can’t

she is just gone.

I have lost her ….

I miss her.

Watching

watching her slowly
knowing her quiet thoughts
enjoying her enjoying
     the silence of the
     morning and those
wonderful morning thoughts
     paddling across
     the lake
as ripples of symmetric
     circles
     emerge with each paddle
stroke.
