In between the wish for more
And need for less
She paused to let the breeze pass
Through
And transform her
From the rushing steps that never seem to
Gain foothold
On life,
To the tranquility of what is
Yet
to be left
Behind.

Spattered,
Scattered,
Splattered
Like galaxies
Of reversed light
Upon the expanse
Of skin.
Concentrated pigment
On the canvas
Of the body,
They speckle
Like stars
Reflected
In the negative of film.
Beloved,
They dance upon
The nose.
A freckled
Symphony
Of brown and gold.

Their small heads
Rise proud
In mid-trail.
Delicate and fierce
They stretch their
Full miniature scale.
The risk they take
Of being
Stepped on,
Dwarfed by delicious
Access
To sun.

In orchid garden
They bloom.
A speckled glory,
A boon.
A blushing show
Well adored,
In nature’s awe
And reward.

In the game of
Standing out from
The crowd,
There is little more distinct
Than the
Distinctly
Indistinct.

A nascent blush
Promises
The sweetness
To come
And holds the space
For what is yet
To form.

From aqua blue
To deep hue
The ocean runs
Deeply through
The soul that breathes
In me and you.

Sky and clouds
Take a swim
As day fills
To the brim,
And the light
Lets you know:
As above
So below.

Tiny shoots of tender growth
Fill meadows’ hearts
With glorious froth.
The pastel blooms
Are itty bitty
But they sure are
Hugely pretty!

The air pristine
On angels’ winds,
Unspoiled by what
Mans’ hands can bring.
In feathered clouds
And oceans’ swing,
It heralds surf
Of joy within,
To mark the waves
With dance that gleams,
And breathes along
A song to sing
For all that dreams.
