Continuity

You were there
Watching me skip stones
Falling headlong
Into cold waters
Learning to swim
Learning to drown

You were there
Last night
Hiding in the reeds
Reflections
Slapping me
Out of it

Awake now.
See you 
Tomorrow

what is a meta for?
if it’s not a metaphor, if it’s not an analogy

maybe it’s an anaphor…metagy?

Daughter of My Daughter

Daughter of my daughter,
Come, walk with me

So many things to say
Before the sun sets
And sleep overcomes.

Stay
In the strength 
Of your mother

Your eyes,
Like hers
Full of life and cheer

Tenderness
Will illuminate
Where you have walked

No ill word
Will pass through
Where ears may judge

Love
Will be your name
Charity
Will be your sword

Black Birds and Fences

There are scales on my eyes
And I must traverse the journey
Over and over
Before I can see

My walks have taken me by this spot many times.
The tree, birds, the fences and light kept telling an untold story.
Struggling with its meaning
A puzzle
With pieces missing

All is not as it appears
To the eye
Sometimes
The eye must close
To see

If we can find the emotive response within us to color, lines and shapes.
Make them ours. Interpret them from the emotive eye.
The journey takes on new meaning.
