one day ... continued


polaris

when all else is stripped away
there is love

set your compass
then walk towards it
and know

when everything turns black
there is, above all
a star
to guide you home

 

all the pretty birds are singing

the wind blows west across Jones' Bluff
over the roof of my small house
taking my heart
like a leaf spinning

transforming me
in flight

i grow wings
fly toward polaris
live like a star falling

i skim the shore
feel droplets spraying
my plumage
waves of water and wind
& me somewhere between, as always
while you remain
my current, recurring     dream

reminding me
when there are no birds left singing
what remains
is love

fishing lines
