What Rare . . .

Along the Lot River, France near Cahors (Summer, 2012)

what rare

beyond the flow

of wayward breezes

come

the sparkling sheets

of forgiveness

dance on bending branches

what dream

beneath the roots

of awakening . . .

the sun burns holes

through memories

and hope . . 

what weight

through crystal colors

of time

depend on vision

to entice away the

lingering butterfly . .. 

what shattering

the engine 

of discovery . . .

and somewhere the breath

of happiness 

becomes

a headstrong wind . . .
